Calaveras County
Calaveras County is a rural county in California's Gold Country, well known for tourism and attractions including Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Moaning Caverns, Mercer Caverns, and the annual Jumping Frog Jubilee. The county's geography supports ample vineyards, and the wine industry plays a part in the local economy. The county covers 1,037 square miles, and the county seat is San Andreas. Major highways through the county are State Routes 4, 12, 26, and 49.
The county is divided into three exclusive operating areas for ambulance service: American Legion Ambulance serves the North and South zones, and Ebbetts Pass Fire District serves the East zone. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office dispatches all ambulance services in the county; fire first-response agencies are dispatched by CAL FIRE in San Andreas. Advanced life support first response is provided in the East zone by Ebbetts Pass Fire District and in the southwestern portion of the county by Copperopolis Fire Protection District. The remaining fire departments provide basic life support first response. Patients are typically transported to Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas or Adventist Health Sonora in neighboring Tuolumne County.
