Ambulance Staffing
Our advanced life support (ALS) ambulances are strategically placed throughout Summit County and staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Ambulances are staffed by Nationally Registered Paramedics, Intermediates, and Emergency Medical Technicians, stationed in Dillon, Frisco, Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Breckenridge. Ambulances are co-staffed with providers from Summit County Ambulance Service,
Lake Dillon Fire Rescue,
Copper Mountain Fire Department, and the
Red, White, and Blue Fire District.
EMS Response and Transport
Our 9-1-1 EMS response is coordinated with local fire districts, who provide basic life support level of care (BLS) or higher. For local emergency responses, fire districts can typically arrive within 5 minutes, and ambulances typically arrive within 8-12 minutes, depending upon location and weather.
Patients are usually transported to
St. Anthony Summit Medical Center or emergency clinics in Breckenridge and Keystone. In the event of serious injury, ambulance personnel coordinate with
St. Anthony Hospital Flight for Life to airlift patients to the Denver area hospitals.
