The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians says the U.S. has an EMS crisis and is calling for a congressional hearing to help address the issue.
In Mountain Lake, Minnesota, the volunteer EMS service gets anywhere from a few calls a day to a few a week. The closest hospital is 11 miles away, so having an ambulance ready to go can mean the difference between life and death.
Mountain Lake is home to just over 2,000 people.
