..”[I] wish to extend my gratitude to all of those involved in making a really bad moment a bit better. I am not just a concerned father in this case, I am a Critical Care Paramedic and EMS Instructor. The hallmark of a good provider is always competence, confidence and compassion. All of these attributes were on full display by the crew… as they committed acts of blatant customer service in the performance of their duties. Please extend my gratitude as a father and immense respect as an EMS Instructor for the exemplary performance of these two care providers. You can be proud of how they performed so admiringly as ambassadors to our chosen EMS Profession. Thank You is not enough but it will have to do for now”..

In addition to our regular cleaning, we have adopted some additional disinfecting procedures at the station.
1) Spray disinfectant 🚿 The spraying of ambulances has proven to be the most effective, full-coverage method for disinfecting the patient compartment, stretchers, and other equipment. After donning PPE, staff use a paint sprayer and cleaning solution to coat all the hard surfaces. It takes just 15 minutes!
2) ATP swab testing 🧫 Sites throughout our ambulances and station are swabbed and tested to detect the presence of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). A high level of ATP can represent an unclean surface so it helps us determine what needs to be cleaned more frequently/deeply.
3) UV sanitation 💡 Ultraviolet light sanitation is used to disinfect items like masks, which need to stay dry. We have a box at the station that items can be hung in to sanitize.
