Spring Lake, MI (WGHN) – There is a new paramedic service at The Spring Lake Township Fire Department. The department debuted Advanced Life Support service last week. WOOD TV 8 reports that the new new equipment and more advanced training of five paramedics means a higher level of emergency care that can address critical conditions more quickly.
Tucker Chartier, a firefighter and paramedic:
The Advanced Life Support service means they won’t have to wait for an ambulance to quickly start those procedures. If the patient needs to be taken to the hospital, crews will transfer them to an ambulance with some treatment already started.
The department has grown since 2019 adding full time staff says Chief John Stalzer.
A federal grant provided funding to cover the cost of training.
