- First Responder Vehicles
-
These vehicles are used for a variety of purposes, the most
important being to allow medically trained personnel access to quicker
more maneuverable vehicles. This allows the medical attention
you might require to arrive at the scene on a more rapid basis.
These vehicles are stocked with equipment similar to ambulances but
are not certified by the Texas Department of Health to transport
people to the hospital. An ambulance will follow one of these
vehicles and the occupants of a first responder vehicle may assist in
the transport via ambulance. Click on the image below to see more pictures
that show an example of how our medic units are equipped.
- Ambulances
-
All of West Harris County EMS ambulances are equipped with
'Frazer Bilt' boxes that are mounted on 1 ton or greater Ford
chassis. These units are Type III ambulances stocked with MICU
(Mobile Intensive Care Unit) level equipment. Click on the image below to see more pictures
that show how an example of how our ambulances are equipped.
- Utility Vehicles
-
Currently WHCEMS has a single Utility truck that is used for the
multitude of daily chores that keep an EMS service going. It is
also available to bring equipment to the scene when a large number of
patients are involved and the supplies on the ambulances and first
reponder vehicles are taxed.
