| In just two months, Medic 401—operating out of Station 40—has made a significant impact on emergency medical services in Berkeley County. Staffed by dedicated EMTs and paramedics from the Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority (BCEAA), the unit responded to 145 calls in August and 158 calls in September, totaling 303 emergency responses.
This impressive volume underscores the vital role Medic 401 plays in safeguarding the health and safety of county residents. The unit’s strategic placement at Station 40, combined with the professionalism of BCEAA personnel, ensures rapid deployment and timely care during critical moments.
Equally important is the strong partnership between BCEAA and the county’s volunteer fire departments. This collaboration enhances coverage across the region, allowing for quicker EMS response times when citizens dial 911. It’s a model of teamwork that reflects Berkeley County’s commitment to community-centered emergency care.
As call volumes continue to rise, Medic 401 stands as a testament to what coordinated service and shared purpose can achieve. |
