Hicksville Rescue Squad
The mission of the Hicksville Rescue Squad is to furnish the citizens of Hicksville and the surrounding areas with adequate and efficient twenty-four (24) hour emergency medical care.
The Hicksville Rescue squad is staffed by volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. All EMTs are certified by the State of Ohio. The territory they cover includes the Village of Hicksville, Hicksville Township, the southern half of Milford Township, and the western half of Farmer Township.

The squad is also advised by a medical director, Dr. Chris Goliver.
