Crawfordville, Florida – Wakulla County EMS has extended its exceptionally long stint of “No Deficit Inspections” by achieving their 17th straight rating. On Wednesday, May 26, 2011 the State of Florida Emergency Medical Service Department made an unannounced visit to the County EMS Buildings.  

The State inspection is extremely detailed and takes approximately four hours to complete.  The inspection consists of a full equipment inventory from bulk storage climate control to all ambulance’s equipment inventory; all items required on an ambulance have to be accounted for.  In addition to item by item for EMS records and vehicle status, the inspector also examines administrative files for training and administrative requirements.  “Personnel are to be commended for their knowledge of equipment and supplies locations.  The Wakulla County EMS Service is being run efficiently and effectively with professionalism and commitment to the citizens and visitors of the County,” says Mr. Stone of the State EMS Office.

This inspection is the 17th consecutive “No Deficit” inspection awarded to Wakulla County EMS.  “The paramedics, EMTs, and their Supervisor, Marvin Walters deserve the recognition of their ongoing efforts of being consistent, conducting daily check-ins of their vehicles, and their educational training.  Special acknowledgment is due to crew members Joey Tillman, Jarrod Duggar, James Osteen and Steve Pigott who were on duty and participated in this inspection; commented EMS Director Fran Council.”
