New Emergency Ambulance Transport Going into Service
The MVFD is putting an ambulance into service for the first time
New Emergency Ambulance Transport Going into Service
The City of Mountain View Fire Department intends to place its new 9-1-1 emergency ambulance transport in service in the coming weeks.
Until now, the MVFD has never provided its own 9-1-1 emergency ambulance transport service. Santa Clara County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency has agreed to allow MVFD to operate one ambulance.
The MVFD ordered the ambulance in late 2022. However, due to delays in the supply chain, the unit did not arrive until October 2024.
Since the inception of the MVFD Paramedic Program in 1998, the MVFD has played a critical role in Santa Clara County’s EMS system. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, MVFD responded to 4,981 EMS events. Approximately 70% of the fire department’s emergency responses are EMS-related. Having an ambulance to perform transports to the hospital in Mountain View will improve pre-hospital patient care for our residents.
