Strong coordination between agencies makes a direct impact on scene efficiency, patient care, and overall safety. Training together ensures we operate seamlessly when it matters most.

Thank you to D/C Weber for putting together and delivering this valuable and informative training.

Trumbull EMS proudly accepted their first unit of life saving blood product today from the Bridgeport Hospital Blood Bank. Through a collaborative partnership with Bridgeport Hospital, Trumbull EMS paramedics are now equipped with the tools and education necessary for paramedics to administer blood transfusions directly in their ambulances at the point of care.

“When assessing and treating bleeding patients, every second matters,” said Doug Latham, EMS medical director for Bridgeport Hospital. “The ability to transfuse blood prior to arriving at the hospital improves patient outcomes by addressing hemorrhagic shock during the most critical time, stabilizing patients until they arrive at the hospital for ongoing treatment and mitigating the effects of severe blood loss in critically injured and/or bleeding patients.”

Chief Bassett and the TEMS team have worked hard to ensure our team is always trained and ready to deliver cutting-edge, evidence driven care. Adding blood to our clinical scope will without a doubt save lives.

Trumbull's Lightning Detection System is LIVE!

Lightning Detection has been installed in our major recreational areas in town. Scan the QR code or visit https://trumbull.strikeviewpro.com to view live status.

If lightning is within 5 miles, the system will sound a siren three times and strobes will flash continuously alerting people to clear the area. Once 30 minutes has passed with no lightning, two airhorns will sound letting people know it is safe to resume activity.

Lightning detection covers our major recreational areas in town:

The Trumbull High School system covers Indian Ledge Park, Twin Brooks, and Beach Memorial Pool.

The Town Hall system covers Unity Park, Island Brook Park, Madison Middle School, and Kaechele Field.

The Tashua Knolls system covers the golf course, Tashua Pool, and Old Mine Park.
