CCEMS (Cache County Emergency Medical Services)
CCEMS or Cache County Emergency Medical Services is a joining of Logan City's and Cache County's emergency response units to create a unified response system. The goal of CCEMS is to provide faster ambulance responses in outlying parts of the county while maintaining the same high level of care, to provide ambulance redundancy and backup, to unify medical personnel county wide and to use the nearest extricating units available. As the Cache Valley continues to grow the need to station ambulances outside of Logan City has become apparent.
CCEMS has stationed ambulances in the city of Smithfield and Hyrum. These ambulances are staffed with EMT-I's which will handle the BLS (Basic Life Support) calls. Paramedics are still called to respond from Logan in a squad truck to provide ALS ( Advanced Life Support). The closest extrication equipped station is called to respond to auto accidents. In the past extricating units were called out of Logan to any city which didn't have their own. This change will allow extrications to happen more quickly. A council has been formed with representatives from each of the cities involved, dispatch and the Cache County EMS coordinator, Jay Downs.
Because all agencies have become one agency, cooperation and efficiency has increased. This is an excellent way to bring together Cache County firefighters and resources.
