NEWS: In June 2008 we put in service our new ambulance. The old van you see in the above picture is the old 60. The one to the left of that is the, now old, 63 which was sold some time ago. So instead of 4 ambulances we have reduced our fleet to 3 ambulances.

Our Calendar is now up and running. Please be patient while we populate it with upcoming classes, meetings and other events.

Central Orleans Volunteer Ambulance (COVA) was established in 1979. The organization has grown ever since.

We currently provide Basic Life Support (BLS), Intermediate Life Support (ILS) and also Advanced Life Support (ALS). In order to meet the community needs we have on staff Drivers, EMT-Basic, AEMT-Intermediate, and AEMT-Paramedics. Every member maintains at least the basic amount of yearly training while many will advance their training to help better meet the needs of the community.

We are also involved in providing training not only for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) but also for the local community. This training can be in First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resusitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillators (AED's). Venturers (Explorers) are also a part of COVA which allows children between the ages of 14 - 21 to be a part of the Emergency Medical Services.

Our fleet can be seen above. Three (3) Ambulances (60, 61, 63) and one (1) Paramedic Fly Car (90). The entire fleet is NYS Advance Life Support certified. The above picture from left to right COVA 90, 62, 63, 60, and 61. The two ambulances that are no longer in our fleet are 60 and 63. Although 60 has been replaced with a new mod!
