Georgetown EMS was featured on KXAN tonight and focused on saving a heart attack victim's life. The report also discussed Georgetown's takeover of the emergency medical services within the City from Williamson County's award winning service. A video clip was shown from a Williamson County 2014 presentation to the Georgetown City Council wherein it was predicted it would require several years of experience and training before Georgetown Fire would meet national response standards.
It was reported that Georgetown EMS currently is on scene in 9 minutes or less 80% of the time. One year ago under Williamson County EMS, the ambulance was on scene in 9 minutes or less 92% of the time. Georgetown EMS has a way to go to meet that standard.
It should be noted that this statistic was not included in the presentation material which is posted on the City's website for tomorrows presentation to the City Council in a workshop.
