Logan Emergency Ambulance Service Authority

What Logan Emergency Ambulance Service Authority does

Logan Emergency Ambulance Service Authority (LEASA), also operating as County Public Rescue, is a public emergency services authority established on March 5, 1979 by the Logan County Commission under Chapter 7, Article 15 of the West Virginia Code. It holds statutory principal responsibility for providing emergency life support services to all citizens of Logan County, West Virginia, and is governed by a fifteen-member Decision-making Authority appointed by the Commission. The organization operates a unified portfolio of ambulance and rescue services rather than a discrete technology platform; core capabilities include 911 emergency transport, non-emergency transport (doctor appointments, hospital discharges, dialysis), inter-facility transport, and critical care transport for inter-hospital transfers staffed by Critical Care Paramedics. Specialized rescue services include a HazMat Response Team (the first in Logan County, established 1997), an ATV Rescue Team serving the Hatfield and McCoy Trail System, water and dive rescue, search and rescue, and high angle rescue. Operations are delivered through six strategically positioned stations across Logan County (Chapmanville, Logan, Man, Island Creek, Sharples, Harts) with a documented track record of 15,301 annual calls as of 2004.
