Wise County EMS & Rescue

Wise County EMS & Rescue WISE COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Wise County is located in North Texas, near the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

It covers approximately 923 square miles with a population estimated at 65,000 living in and around some 18 towns and communities. The population of Wise County is poised to continue to grow at a rapid rate due to its proximity to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, low tax rates, and available land/housing.

cy transfers for the entire county. We have a staff consisting of 38 full-time and 15 part-time EMTs and Paramedics responding to approximately 7000 calls for service every year. We staff 5 Full-time MICU level ambulances which are staffed with an EMT-B/EMT-I and a Paramedic working 24 hour shifts on a 24(on)/48(off) schedule. We carry a full range of critical care medications and equipment including SonoSite Sonography units, IV pumps, ventilators, LUCAS devices, LifePak 15 Cardiac Monitors, Glidescope GO Video Laryngoscopes, and more. Our staff operate under very progressive protocols to ensure that we are providing cutting edge medicine to the residents of Wise County. In addition to the MICU units, we operate a Paramedic Rescue Unit staffed with the on-duty Paramedic supervisor and a secondary paramedic both with many years of critical care EMS experience. Our R-1 staff are also trained firefighters with vehicle extrication, fire suppression, rope rescue, and swift water rescue capabilities.

We’re excited to share the early impact our new ambulance station in Alvord is already having on emergency response in our service area.

Before the station opened, a recent call (same address) required 10 minutes and 50 seconds from the time the ambulance went enroute until arrival on scene. With the new station in service, a similar response was completed in just 1 minute and 45 seconds.

That’s a reduction of 9 minutes and 5 seconds, representing an 83.8% improvement in response time.

In emergency medicine, minutes matter. Faster response times mean quicker patient care, improved outcomes, and a higher level of service for the citizens we are privileged to serve.

This achievement reflects the vision and support of our elected officials and our continued commitment to providing the best possible emergency medical care to our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a reality. The results speak for themselves, and we’re proud to see the positive difference it is already making.

When the wildfire danger is high, success doesn’t belong to one department — it belongs to the team.

Over the past several days, conditions across our area have deteriorated, and several fires have reminded us just how critical mutual aid and strong working relationships are.

As evidenced in this picture, sometimes it comes down to being in the right place at the right time, and when that happens, the difference is made by crews who trust each other and move as one.

We would like to bring attention to the outstanding teamwork and rapid response from our partners:

• Wise County EMS & Rescue
• Wise County Emergency Services District 3 – Brush 128
• Parker County Emergency Services District 1– Engine 46, Brush 46, Engine 47, Brush 47, Battalion 101

Quick action, shared resources, and constant communication are what keep small fires from becoming large ones.

This is what mutual aid is all about — neighbors helping neighbors, departments backing each other up, and everyone going home safe at the end of the day.

A reminder: the 90-day full outdoor burning ban is currently in effect. Please do your part to help prevent new fires from starting during these high-risk conditions.
