More than 100 residents turned out Wednesday night for a discussion on the future of emergency medical services in the community. The City of Delta Junction set up the meeting as a community wide discussion on what level of service should be provided and how to fund such a service. Around the country emergency medical or EMS services are provided through very different models with varying levels of service. Some areas have entirely volunteer services and some have only paid services. Some provide immediate response from staffed stations and others provided only on call responders. From within those models come a mix of service levels of paid and volunteer responders that provide basic life support (BLS) services and others that provide advanced life support (ALS) services, and a mix of service levels in between.
