All Milton Fire-Rescue Department vehicles are now equipped with Advanced Life Support equipment and paramedic level service, and according to the city, making Milton one of the few departments in all of Georgia with this potentially life-saving service.
Most Milton Fire-Rescue engines and rescue units have provided paramedic-level ALS service. Now, Truck 41 has been upgraded from Basic Life Support equipment to the same Paramedic Advanced Life Support emergency medical services level of care. An ALS unit includes a medication box and cardiac monitor.
“It’s important that all our firefighter paramedics have the best tools possible to assist patients and potentially save lives,” said Milton Fire Chief Gabe Benmoussa. “This upgrade will allow for greater flexibility for our firefighters, not to mention service to our community.”
