About Us |
|
Wolcott Volunteer Ambulance Association was formed in 1973. For the last 39 years we have served the town of Wolcott, CT and its 16,000 residents. Our service operates 24-7 and 365 day a year. We are staffed full-time by EMTs, EMT-Intermediates and EMT-Paramedics . Our personnel are made up of combined paid and volunteer staff. Our headquarters is located at 48 Todd Rd, near the public works facility. It features a four bay garage, two kitchens, and living space including two bedrooms, six offices, a boardroom and a classroom.
Our fleet includes two ambulances, two emergency response vehicles (fly-cars) and a Mass Casualty Incident Trailer. Some of our paid staff are provided by Campion Ambulance Service, Inc. out of Waterbury, CT. Saint Mary’s Hospital is our sponsor hospital and Dr. Peter Jacoby is our medical director. In 2009 we responded to 1,200 calls for assistance including mutual aid for the City of Waterbury. In the past few years we have worked hard to increase the likelihood of surviving a cardiac arrest by donating Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) to Wolcott High School, Farmingbury Golf Course, Wolcott Town Hall, the Senior Center, Scoville Beach recreation area, BAW Field and the Wakelee Softball field. Because of our actions, we were eecently recognized by the American Heart Association as a HeartSafe Community. |
