Who We Are

Put on your boots and grab your hat to support this great cause. The event features dining, drinks, dancing, and live and silent auctions that you won't want to miss.



What We Do
The impact of the Boot Scootin' Ball cannot be underestimated. Through this event, more than $3,000,000 has been raised, enabling the PVES Foundation to leverage additional grants and acquire the necessary resources, such as equipment and supplies.
Upgraded Emergency Services Include:
  • Modernized Ambulances and Fire Trucks
  • Advanced Training and Life-saving Equipment
  • Full-time, Paid Medics Available 24/7
  • Renovated Fire Station Facilities
  • Addition of a New EMS Station

 Why It Matters
Preston EMS delivers urgent medical assistance to North Texas Regional Airport, Pottsboro, Locust, and the vast Preston Peninsula, covering a whopping 100 square miles in the Lake Texoma region. Moreover, our fire trucks cater to the Preston Peninsula's firefighting needs while extending mutual aid to other agencies . 
The Boot Scootin' Ball's generated funds allow us to acquire cutting-edge equipment and offer comprehensive training, all of which ensure you and your loved ones receive lifesaving services. Grayson County Commissioners court has expanded the Preston EMS area to include the North Texas Regional Airport.

PVES in Our Community Fact Sheet

 


A Description of Preston Volunteer Emergency Services (PVES)

PVES is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. PVES is the only Emergency Medical Services provider located and servicing Preston, Locust, the NTRA, and Pottsboro, with Fire Services located in the Preston area. Our mission is to provide firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical services to the residents and visitors to our community regardless of a person’s ability to pay.


NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL AIRPORT (NTRA) has been a vital part of far north Grayson County going all the way back when it was Perrin Field and a training base for Army Air Corps pilots during World War II. Preston Volunteer Emergency Services (PVES) also has a long history of service in the same are of Grayson County, and now includes NTRA in its service area.


The volunteer Firefighting side of PVES began in 1969, and has grown to include two fire stations, and 5 fire fighting vehicles. Volunteers are always welcome, and no experience is necessary.


The EMS side of PVES began in 1976, with a volunteer using a station wagon for transport. This has grown into an EMS station at 406 and 289, with two ambulances, with fully staffed crews, manning the station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our Paramedic and EMT teams are excellent.


Who manages PVES? We have a volunteer 12-person Board of Directors (3-year terms, with 4 coming open each year) who oversees the operation. We have a part-time paid Fire Chief/EMS Director, and a Medical Director, who manages the Day-to-Day management.


Who can join the Board? Any member of the community. Members are: 1) anyone who owns real property in the Service Area (Preston, Locust, Pottsboro); 2) anyone who resides full time or part time in the Service Area; 3) anyone who assists as a volunteer in good standing; 4) anyone who makes a donation of record, in the 2 most recent calendar years.

Who pays for PVES? Not your property taxes.


PVES operating funds come from three sources: 1) approximately one-third comes from fundraising, donations, in-kind contributions; 2) about one-third comes from contracts for services; 3) and about one-third comes from billing for ambulance services. Our budget for operations has increased 15% since 2020, with increases coming in insurance (in 2019 we were able to cover all our Volunteers and paid EMS staff with Workers’ Compensation Insurance), increased salaries for our EMS crews, and other overhead costs.


Please support our Annual Golf Tournament (TBD), please support the Boot Scootin’ Ball Foundation (this foundation helps with grants for equipment and other items).

In 2023, Fire Services responded to 475 emergencies, 18% more than the prior year.
