Billy Perez, Director of Fairfield EMS, “Since I started working for Fairfield EMS in 1999, I have always been in awe of the advanced training and equipment this EMS service has provided to its employees and community.  Just one of the reasons I have been here for so long. Healthcare is a challenging and sometimes difficult business to be in, but with a board of directors and community that appreciates the service we provide no one can help but want to be a part of it. I am proud of this service and love serving the people of Freestone County. “
