Advanced Life Support Squad Added at Station 41
CAMARILLO — The Ventura County Fire Department is proud to announce the addition of an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Squad vehicle to Simi Valley (on May 22). Squad 41 will be staffed by two firefighter/paramedics and deliver an enhanced level of service.
Squad 41 will be stationed at Fire Station 41 on Church Street near E. Los Angeles Avenue in Central Simi Valley.
Paramedic squads routinely respond to all medical emergencies, structure fires, traffic collisions, and technical rescues within their designated response area. Having firefighters cross trained as paramedics also allows for critical patient care to be initiated in hazardous situations, such as confined space rescues and hazmat incidents.
