Both a Fire Truck and Ambulance will show up when you call 911 in Leander TX
Have you ever wondered why both a fire truck and an ambulance always show up for a medical emergency when you call 911 in Leander TX?
Often time’s dispatchers handling emergency calls do not gather complete information and in a worst case scenario it’s good practice to send the highest level of care. Leander 911 calls will send Fire Department with their closest fire engine (minimum of three personnel) or (minimum of two personnel) and a Leander EMS Ambulance (staffed with two paramedics).
Unfortunately, units have no way of knowing what they will encounter on a call until they arrive. They work in a “what if” and “all risk” business. Responding to the unknown is public safety.
Emergency medical calls are never routine. Most require assessing the patient/patients, obtaining their vital signs, providing oxygen therapy, and moving them, at a minimum.
EMS may also need to place an advanced airway, administer drugs intravenously, or monitor cardiac conditions. All of these procedures are completed more efficiently when the appropriate amount of help is on scene. Efficient care is our goal, and efficient care often is the difference between life and death.
