By Adams Area Fire District James - Jimmy - Ellis Firehouse Station 42
July 9, 2026
Circa 1990s. At the time, the spun-off Mars EMS was operating out of the firehouse to the rear, and fire service out of the newest garage to the left (now the micro brewery).
In 1994, Quality EMS started operations, and in time (with some inter-service hiccups) grew into a complete and professional origination, assuming all EMS responsibilities in the first due area (and have since absorbed territory beyond that of Mars and Valencia VFCs/now Adams Area Fire District).
