Dedicated EMS Personnel to Enhance Emergency Medical Services

In our evolving community, the majority of emergency calls are medical in nature. Yet, our current system often requires paramedics to undertake firefighting duties, which can deter highly qualified medical professionals from joining our ranks.

By establishing dedicated EMS positions, we can:

• Attract Specialized Talent: Open opportunities for skilled paramedics who prefer to focus solely on medical emergencies.

• Enhance Response Times: Deploy medical professionals who are always ready to respond to health-related emergencies.

• Improve Patient Care: Allow paramedics to concentrate on their area of expertise, leading to better outcomes for patients.

This approach doesn't diminish the importance of our firefighters; instead, it complements their efforts by ensuring that medical emergencies receive the specialized attention they require.

By embracing dedicated EMS roles, we're not only addressing the current needs of our community but also laying the groundwork for a more efficient and responsive emergency services system.
