 Ambulance Services Division

On Sept. 1, 2004 the Thornton Fire Department implemented an ambulance service for the citizens of Thornton. This service provides an advanced life support transport unit staffed with a paramedic and an emergency medical technician. In conjunction with the City’s advance life support fire engines, these new units ensure continuous care from pickup through delivery to the appropriate emergency facility. To ensure the safety of citizen lives and property, these ambulance units are staffed with personnel that are dually trained for emergency medical services and firefighting duties. This places more individuals on the fire scenes to ensure a safer, more effective firefighting force for the citizens of Thornton.

The Thornton Fire Department partners with North Suburban Medical Center in order to provide training, quality assurance and medical oversight of the level of care delivered to the citizens. In 2007, Thornton Fire Department responded to over 5,600 emergency medical calls.
