About

Our Mission

We envision being a leader in rural emergency medical services, setting the standard for excellence in patient care, innovation, and community partnership. It is our ambition to partner with and provide medical training to our local emergency responders and agencies to ensure the best outcomes as possible in any emergency situation in our rural county, by being ever-ready to serve, embracing continuous improvement, advancing technology, and strengthening collaboration. We aspire to build a resilient EMS system that not only responds effectively but also fosters trust and preparedness in the people of East Boise County.

The East Boise County EMD District (EBCED) was established to ensure reliable, community-driven emergency medical services across the district. Formed in response to growing local needs and challenges, EBCED is committed to providing timely, professional, and compassionate prehospital care. As a locally governed district, EBCED prioritizes transparency, sustainability, and responsiveness, working closely with residents to strengthen the future of EMS in our rural communities.

I am an Idaho native; my wife and I have been part time residents of Centerville since building our house in 2008. We moved here full time after purchasing the Hardware store in Idaho City in February of 2022

I was in upper operational management throughout my 37-year career at a food manufacturer where I had around 150 employees. I was responsible for dealing with all related regulatory agencies, budgeting and managing the daily operations of the business.

My emergency response involvement consists of serving as a volunteer Firefighter/EMT for Meridian Fire Dept. for approximately 10 years. I was also the HAZMAT leader of the facility I worked at, as we had over 10,000 Lbs. of Anhydrous Ammonia on sight and required to have a HAZMAT team. I also served on the Centerville Fire Dept Board of Directors for several years.

Alex grew up in the mountains of Colorado and loves spending time outdoors in Idaho hunting and fishing. Before and during college, Alex was a volunteer firefighter with a rural fire department that also provided EMS services, and found a passion for running on the ambulance and treating patients. Alex stepped away from EMS to attend the University of Chicago Law School, and returned to Denver to practice law before moving to Idaho. 
Alex now works for Boise County and was an integral part in the formation of EBCED. He is a lead EMT and volunteers as often as he can. He is proud to live in Robie Creek and to represent his neighbors in such an important organization. He lives with his wife, Becky, and their three dogs. 

District Information

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the 1300 square mile portion of Boise County that is centered around State Highway 21 was previously the responsibility of the East Boise County Ambulance District (EBCAD), formed in 1987.  EBCAD incorporated volunteer-run ambulances from Idaho City, Wilderness Ranch, Placerville and Lowman under one district, which was overseen by the Boise County Commissioners.  EBCAD had a few paid employees over the years, with otherwise mostly volunteer staffing.  EBCAD has impacted countless lives over the years thanks to the members who have given their time and commitment to the community.
East Boise County EMS District (EBCED) was formed as a result of a voter-approved initiative in November 2024 and assumed EMS operations in east Boise County on October 1, 2025, when EBCAD officially ceased operations.  EBCED is a local-government EMS agency.  EBCED has paid employees, supplemented by volunteers, to continue to provide care for the sick and injured in Boise County.  EBCED is a local-government ambulance district, which is overseen by its own Board of Commissioners.  EBCED's district runs along Highway 21 from the high-bridge at the Ada County border (mile post 17) to mile post 105 at the Banner Creek Summit, and includes the communities of Robie Creek, Wilderness Ranch, Osprey, Clear Creek, Grimes Creek, Thorn Creek, Idaho City, Centerville, Placerville and Lowman, as well as Spring Shores Marina and Arrowrock Road, and all points in between.
EBCED EMT's operate out of four rescue ambulance stations, with Idaho City being the headquarters station.  Our EMT's operate at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level, along with having Idaho state-approved optional modules, including intravenous (IV) and intraosseous (IO) fluid infusion of normal saline or 5% dextrose in water (D5W), intramuscular medication administration, supraglottic airway insertion (iGel), nitrous-oxide administration and 12-lead ECG acquisitions using recently acquired Zoll X Series Advanced heart monitors, to name a few.  EBCED also continues to partner with other Boise county fire and EMS resources, as well as mutual aid partners from Air St. Luke's, Life Flight Network, Ada County and Acute Rescue Ambulance service, when needed.
