New system gives department latest lifesaving technology
When someone dials 911 for a squad, they are expecting the best emergency medical services possible and that can be a large hurdle for small volunteer departments, Quincy-Miami Township EMS Department Chief Mike Dodds said Thursday.
His department doesn’t have the tax base and financial resources to drop $32,500 on the latest 12-lead Lifepak15 monitoring and defibrillator system.
So he sought out funding from the Ohio EMS Agency to easily clear the financial hurdle.
