Lebanon Fire District responded to 322 medical emergencies during the month of May while continuing to provide ambulance service across 419 square miles and to a growing population throughout the region.
May response statistics include:
• 322 total medical emergencies
• 77 hospital transfers
• 57 lift assists
• 19 vehicle accidents
• 15 mutual aid responses
• 5 cardiac arrests
• 49 callback requests due to no available ambulances
Our crews maintained an average emergency response time of 5 minutes and 10 seconds while providing emergency medical care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
One statistic that stands out is the 49 callback requests due to no available ambulances. These occur when all district ambulances are already committed to other emergencies, requiring additional personnel to be called in or assistance from neighboring agencies.
Medical emergencies continue to account for the majority of the district's call volume, and demand for ambulance services has steadily increased over time. As our community grows, so does the number of residents, visitors, and neighboring communities relying on Lebanon Fire District for emergency medical response and transport.
Emergency calls do not occur one at a time. Multiple incidents often happen simultaneously, requiring crews to manage overlapping medical emergencies, vehicle crashes, fires, and other calls for service. As call volume continues to rise, so does the demand placed on personnel, ambulances, and equipment.
The statistics reported each month provide a snapshot of the increasing demand placed on emergency medical services and the growing number of residents who rely on ambulance response, treatment, and transport throughout the district.
