The EMS program responds to an average of more than 8,500 calls per year.  Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances are staffed with two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who are exceptionally well-trained to intervene in non-critical and critical incidents.

They are responsible for treating, stabilizing, and transporting patients to hospitals.  Advanced Life Support ambulances are staffed by two Paramedics who have highly-developed medical skills and the capability to perform complex interventions and treatments in the field.
