CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. 鈥� Charlotte County Fire and EMS has begun a new program aimed at reducing ambulance response times during peak call times.
The 鈥�40-Hour Peak-Load鈥� project will bring three new ambulances to cover areas with the highest number of calls, during the busiest times of the day, reported.
鈥淲e started rolling out one of our future three ambulances that will kind of move around and roam throughout the county and hit areas of opportunity where we have increased call volume,鈥� Lieutenant Brendan Betancourt said. 鈥淭he idea is to try and minimize dispatch time from call to arrival.鈥�
After conducting a Community Risk Assessment and Standards of Cover study, it was determined that adding three ambulances during peak times could enhance EMS services.
