The Leeds Ambulance service covers approximately 500 square miles and includes several communities around Leeds. The service has a fully equipped and stocked ambulance that was purchased new in 2010 as well as a four wheel drive unit that was purchased new in 2012. An ambulance bay, complete with a training room and sleeping quarters, was added to the fire hall in late 2013 to house the service.
Active members provide emergency on call coverage 24/7/365. All EMT’s are equipped with pagers and fully stocked jump kits (containing first aid equipment and supplies) for faster response time. The service recently received a grant to purchase 6 AEDs to be placed in the jump kits and hope to purchase more in the future so that every squad member has an AED for emergencies. Many of the members are also certified in extrication with the fire department which prepares them for most any situation.
The squad meets in the ambulance hall for classes and training sessions.
