JACKSON, Wyo. — Teton County Search and Rescue (TCSAR) has seen a higher volume of service calls this summer than average, but the number of times the team has been called out to perform a rescue mission has actually dropped.

🚨 Arizona is officially an EMS Compact state! 🚨

Effective September 12, 2026, Arizona becomes a participating EMS Compact Member State. Arizona is currently synchronizing its licensure data with the National EMS Coordinated Database. Once complete, licensed EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics in Arizona will have a Privilege to Practice in every other EMS Compact Member State, and qualified EMS clinicians from across the Compact will be recognized in Arizona.

Governor Katie Hobbs signed SB 1235 into law on May 22, 2026, making Arizona the 27th state to enact the EMS Compact. The bill passed the House 45 to 10 and the Senate 27 to 3. Thank you to Senator John Kavanagh and Representative Selina Bliss for their leadership, and to the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of EMS and Trauma System for moving implementation forward in record time.

Arizona's EMS system serves major metro areas, remote rural and frontier communities, tribal lands, and one of the busiest aeromedical transport networks in the country. Compact participation expands the qualified workforce available to every one of those communities.

What this means for Arizona EMS clinicians:
✅ No additional fees, no new exams, no new background check for current licensees
✅ Once data synchronization is complete, look up your Privilege to Practice at www.EMSCompact.gov using your 12-digit National EMS ID number
✅ Practice in other Member States through an EMS agency authorized in that state, under physician medical direction

We will post an update as soon as Arizona's Privilege to Practice is live. Welcome, Arizona! 🌵

1,638 calls year to date. And counting.

Jackson Hole Fire/EMS responded to 252 calls this August, making it the second busiest August on record.

Behind every number is a community member who answered the call, a team that showed up, and countless hours spent preparing for what comes next.

The Foundation helps make that preparation possible by supporting training, wellness, equipment, and the people who serve our community.
