The Leoma Fire Department has secured a partnership with Lawrence County EMS to respond to high-priority medical emergencies, aiming to enhance patient outcomes within the Leoma Fire District. This initiative is set to become fully operational within 30 days from February 16, 2026.
The collaboration between the Leoma Fire Department and Lawrence County EMS began in October 2014. With this new agreement, the Leoma Fire Department becomes the eighth station to join the program, reflecting a commitment to improving emergency medical response in the area.
To prepare for this partnership, the Leoma Fire Department has ensured it possesses the necessary equipment and training. Currently, the department employs eight licensed emergency medical providers, ready to assist with high-priority medical calls. This staffing level is essential for effectively managing the increased responsibilities associated with the new agreement.
Community members can anticipate a more robust emergency response system as a result of this partnership. The Leoma Fire Department’s involvement in high-priority medical calls is expected to streamline operations and potentially reduce response times in critical situations.
As the department gears up to implement this program, it is focused on ensuring that all personnel are adequately trained and equipped to handle the demands of high-priority medical emergencies. The training and resources acquired will significantly enhance the department’s ability to respond effectively.
The Leoma Fire Department’s initiative is part of a broader effort to improve emergency services in the region. By collaborating with Lawrence County EMS, the department aims to provide a higher level of care to the community during medical emergencies.
In summary, the Leoma Fire Department’s new agreement with Lawrence County EMS represents a significant advancement in emergency medical response for the Leoma Fire District. With plans to go live within the next 30 days, the department is poised to improve patient outcomes and strengthen its role in the community’s emergency services.
