The Fort Worth Fire Department launched a new program over the weekend that will allow them to provide a better medical response to remote areas seeing a spike in population.
The program was launched less than a week ago and schedules one paramedic on each of the three shifts at seven fire stations. Currently, the department employs nearly 980 EMTs and 107 paramedics.
Three days after launching the program, the fire department put it into use, helping save a woman’s life. “When we got off the truck, we saw that we had a female who was injured due to burns,” Gonzalez said. While firefighters cleared an area for the helicopter to arrive, a paramedic helped provide advanced life support, or ALS, to the burn victim in minutes.
