CFD showcases new mobile ambulance bus
A recent article from the Chicago Tribune highlights a groundbreaking new development in emergency medical services: the introduction of the CFD (Chicago Fire Department) Medical Ambulance Bus, model 8-8-12. This innovative vehicle is designed to treat and transport up to 13 patients at once, marking a significant advancement in the city's emergency response capabilities. The bus was officially unveiled by the Chicago Fire Department alongside the rollout of new heart monitoring technology for all fire ambulances. The specially designed EMS patient transport bus was funded through a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. According to a CFD news release, this investment enables the department to provide critical on-the-go care and efficient transport for multiple patients during large-scale emergencies or incidents. Equipped with four trained medical staff, the bus includes essential life-saving equipment such as Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), oxygen systems, and emergency medications. It’s designed to handle complex medical situations while ensuring patients receive timely treatment before reaching a hospital. "This EMS patient transport bus is the first of its kind in Illinois," said Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago. "It will be used whenever multiple patients need to be transported together, allowing for more efficient care and better use of resources during emergencies." In addition to the new ambulance bus, the CFD has also upgraded all 60 of its advanced life support (ALS) ambulances with 12-Lead ECG monitors. These devices allow paramedics to quickly detect heart attacks and provide faster, more accurate diagnoses. "With these monitors in place, we’ve equipped our teams with the most advanced mobile cardiac diagnostic tools available," Santiago added. This initiative reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to improving emergency medical care and ensuring that residents receive the best possible treatment in critical moments.
