In the coming days, ambulances will be seen traversing the Annie Wade, Little Dry Creek, Fields, Big Dry Creek, and the western regions of Giles County. Residents should not be alarmed, as this activity is part of the annual Emergency Vehicle Driver Training conducted by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). This training is essential for ensuring compliance with the Vanessa K. Free Act (TCA 55-8-194), which governs the operation of emergency vehicles.
The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance the EMS’s ability to respond effectively to emergencies and to ensure that patients are transported safely. Should any community members have questions or concerns regarding the driving practices or operations of the ambulances, they are encouraged to reach out to EMS personnel. Addressing public safety is of utmost importance to the department.
Additionally, EMS employs a sophisticated driving monitoring system known as AceTech. This technology enables the tracking of various driving metrics, including speed, instances of hard braking, and sharp turns. Utilizing this system not only promotes safer driving practices but also helps reduce the wear and tear on the vehicles, ultimately minimizing maintenance costs.
In emergency situations, the last thing that should occupy your mind is the safety of your transport. The EMS team is composed of skilled medical professionals who are prepared to deliver appropriate care and treatment for a wide range of emergencies. Their commitment to safety and efficiency is unwavering, ensuring that help is always just a call away.
