Two are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The newest unit was purchased in 2005 and is equipped with the latest in Life

Ward Memorial EMS covers approximately 825 square miles encompassing Monahans, Wickett, Pyote, and Thortonville as well as back-up coverage to Grandfalls, Royalty and Barstow and responses into Crane and Ector County on Interstate 20.
