Wallace, MD, MPH Executive Director Department of Public Health & Environment DATE: November 27, 2018 SUBJECT: 2019 Applications for Ambulance Service Licenses Enclosed for the Board's review are eleven applications for ambulance service licenses pursuant to the Weld County Code Chapter 7, Emergency Medical Services, from the ambulance service providers listed below. The Weld County Emergency Medical Trauma Service (EMTS) Council reviewed the application for each ambulance service provider on November 15, 2018, and approved all 11 applications. Changes from last year include adding American Medical Response of Colorado as a new ambulance service and removing Colorado Motocross Medics because they have stopped operating in Weld County. Based on the delegated responsibility of the Department, we have reviewed the applications and have deemed all ambulance services listed below to have met all applicable licensure application requirements found in Chapter 7. As such, I am recommending the following ambulance service providers for licensure: TIER I Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District 8426 Kosmerl Place Frederick, Colorado 7ft.
