Starting on Wednesday, July 19, the Broken Arrow Fire Department announced a seventh ambulance will be put to use. According to the BAFD, the new ambulance will be housed at Fire Station 7, located at Elm Place and Edgewater Street.
BAFD said the seventh ambulance will help reduce their response times and that 75 percent of calls are medical in nature, so a reduction in response times are needed.
"We strive to provide the highest level of customer service to our citizens, and adding another ambulance with our highly trained and dedicated firefighter/paramedics will further enhance our mission," said Fire Chief Jeremy Moore. "The seventh ambulance will provide a complete EMS coverage to the entire city and our cross-trained personnel will also be utilized for fire calls as needed."
