 FireTransport is a “Total-Care” Emergency Medical
Service (EMS) combining both facets of the old “Two-Tier” EMS system.
Firefighter-Paramedics who already respond first and provide patient treatment, will now also
transport these patients to the hospital.
FireTransport is a Natural Evolution of EMS to
a more capable and more efficient model. The majority of Counties and Cities in Florida
have already switched to FireTransport because it gives Faster, Cheaper, Better service for
the patient, while providing Tax-Relief to the residents.
FireTransport means the Firefighter-Paramedic
who began your treatment, will now continue caring for you throughout your medical emergency,
all the way to the hospital. Doctors call this “maintaining continuity of care”.
It avoids the delays, miscommunication, and duplication that plague “Two-Tier” systems using
a separate ambulance company for transport.
FireTransport is proven, outnumbering private ambulance companies
more than 2:1 in Florida.
FireTransport Advantages -
FASTER: Quicker Response & No Delay in Transportation to the
Hospital.
CHEAPER: Transport fees 10% Less Than Charged by
EVAC.
BETTER: Continuity of Care—Same Caregiver From Your Bed to a
Hospital Bed.
TAX RELIEF: Revenues Generated Through Transport Offset Current
Tax Burden.
