EMS UNIT

MORE Pictures of our NEW EMS TRUCK

The "First Responder" emergency medical response unit was founded in 1989 with one state certified EMT. The unit is now composed of 4 Kansas certified EMT's and 4 First Responders. Responses are made in the 2006 Ford 350 four wheel drive, shown above, which carries equipment to provide basic life support, including an AED unit, until an ambulance arrives on scene. All operations are carried out under the protocol of the Franklin County Ambulance Service who provide advanced life support through a MICT (paramedic) protocol. The advantage to residents is a reduced response time for help to arrive when needed.

The program works closely with Franklin County Ambulance, law enforcement, and air ambulance transport services (Life Star, Life Net, Life Team) to make a difference to the population we serve.
