New EMS programs and capabilities are up and coming by delivering robust pre-hospital care in Cecil County. Cecil County EMS will soon roll out Ultrasound Technology and Intravenous Nitroglycerin Infusion. Discovery stages to carry blood on our units. The Department of Emergency Services will be breaking ground later this year (2024) for our additional station on Appleton Rd.

Cecil County EMS operates (4) Advanced Life Support quick response units, (1) Advanced Life Support Ambulance and (2) Supervisor Units 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to supplement the response of our 9 volunteer fire departments.

We currently utilize Chevrolet Suburban’s QRV’s stationed throughout the County. One of these units is assigned to the Shift Commander, who is responsible for the daily operation of the shifts. When fully staffed, a secondary unit is designated as a supervisor unit also. The division also maintains a Mass Causality Trailer capable of handling 25 patients and a (2) John Deere Gators modified to carry a fully immobilized patient.

The department values its close working relationship with the local medical community.
