Deputy Director of Emergency Medical Services (EMS<\/a><\/strong>), Morvin Fiedtkou, reports a significant rise in call volumes over the past year. Despite the challenges, he commended his team\u2019s adaptability and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiedtkou attributes the surge partly to increased public awareness of EMS<\/strong> <\/a>services, with many viewing ambulances as a quick solution for medical issues. While this awareness is positive, it strains resources, as emergency services must prioritize critical cases under triage protocols, leading to delays for less urgent calls.<\/p>

Addressing concerns about expanding the ambulance fleet, Fiedtkou noted that demand tends to outpace available resources, regardless of fleet size.<\/p>
