About this company
North
Blanco County EMS is a non-profit organization which has been providing
compassionate and competent pre-hospital emergency care to the citizens
of Blanco County for the past 40 years under contract to the North
Blanco County Emergency Services District #1. North Blanco County EMS
was established in 1972 by a dedicated group of volunteers and was
originally formed as the Johnson City Volunteer Ambulance Association.
We service an area of approximately 550 square miles, with an estimated
population of 6,300 people. Our response district encompasses the
Johnson City ISD and includes the communities of Johnson City, Round
Mountain, Hye and Sandy. Our territory includes 44 miles of three
heavily-traveled major highways (US Highway 290, US Highway 281 and
State Highway 71), Lyndon B. Johnson National Park and Pedernales Falls
State Park. Our central station houses our three ambulances,
administrative offices and staff, crew quarters and training center. Our
station is staffed 24/7 by our dedicated personnel, with full-time
coverage at the MICU level.
Equipment
North Blanco County EMS operates three ambulances from our central station. We operate two Medtec Type III ambulances, and one Frazer Type I Ambulance. We transitioned from Medtec modules to Frazer modules beginning in 2013 after Medtec was shut down, and the Frazer modules provide much greater cost-benefit in the long run. All three ambulances are identically stocked and are licensed through the Department of State Health Services as BLS with MICU capability. We operate our 911 ambulances at the MICU level, which are typically staffed with (1) Paramedic and (1) EMT-Basic. All of our units are equipped with top of the line LifePak 15 cardiac monitors with numerous features including 12-lead ECG and End Tidal CO2 technology, as well as EZ-IO Devices, CPAP, Video Laryngoscopes, 51 different medications, Stryker PowerPro XT stretchers and Electronic PCR toughbooks.
In addition to our fleet of ambulances, we also have a pick-up truck that is utilized as a command vehicle, as well as a Mass Casualty Incident Trailer which is stocked with supplies and equipment to treat 25 patients.
