When your medical incident is not life-threatening, our EMTs will provide medical aid and a recom- Advanced Life Support (ALS) is medical care provided by paramedics trained to assess a patient’s condition, administer drugs, defibrillate and provide advanced airway management prior to transportation to the hospital. Our Medic 6 ALS paramedic unit, housed at Lacey Fire District Station 34, provides emergency medical care for critically sick and/or injured people who require a more advanced level of medical care. Medic 6 is offered in partnership with Thurston County Medic One and operates on a 12-hour basis daily during peak demand. Most emergency situations – heart attacks, strokes, and serious car accidents – are likely to occur between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and Medic 6 is available to respond quickly with critical care services. Thurston County Medic One agency operates countywide, providing six ALS vehicles staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that generally operate in assigned geographic locations throughout the county. When the medic unit assigned to a particular area is not available, the next closest unit is dispatched. |
