Escambia EMS Reaches Full Staffing Level, Coverage Expands
January 15, 2018
Escambia County EMS now has more ambulances on the road than ever before, including their newest until stationed in Walnut Hill.
About a year go, there were an average of 11 ambulances on the road and available for calls during peak hours; now, that number is usually 16. It was never a matter of ambulances; it was a matter of people to staff them.
In October, the Escambia County Commission increased the Escambia EMS budget for 13 more people, bringing the staffing level to near 100 percent. Some of those new positions went to staff an Escambia County EMS unit recently stationed at the Walnut Hill Fire Station to primarily serve Walnut Hill and Bratt.
