MIDLAND, Texas — The Midland Fire Department has announced the addition of EMS 4 at Station 4, located at 5100 N. Big Spring St.
By adding this full-time unit, the MFD accomplishes several things.
This will provide quicker EMS response to the citizens in District 4. According to a Facebook post, all MFD personnel are crossed trained for fire and EMS, so this will allow for an initial five-man response to fire calls in District 4.
Engine 4 will be staffed with three personnel and EMS 4 with two personnel. This also allows units that had covered District 4 to be more readily available to cover their respective districts.
In 2023, there were 1,126 EMS calls in this district. Those calls were covered by all seven other frontline units. EMS 3 and EMS 8 covered most of these.
