Bedford County Designation as "Medic 5-3"
Interior pictures of patient care compartment can be found in the Picture Gallery in the Misc Apparatus category.
All CCRS medic units are equipped to provide patient care at the Paramedic level, as regulated by the VA Office of EMS. Our medic units are regularly staffed at the VA EMT-Basic certification level as a minimum. Otherwise, the units are staffed with Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers whenever possible.
Our units are equipped with many basic necessities to include on-board oxygen, on-board suction, basic first aid supplies and bandages, and other items needed to handle various medical and trauma emergencies. We also carry many pieces of equipment, necessary to administer Advanced Life Support care.
The equipment that is carried on every medic unit consists of the following:
Long Spine Board with Head Immobilizers
Cervical Collars
Kendrick Extrication Devices (KED)
Scoop Stretchers
Stair Chairs
Traction Splints
Portable Suction Units
Portable Oxygen Tanks
Glucometers
Pulse Oximetry Monitors
Various tools and rescue equipment
All of our medic units are equipped with Stryker Pro stretchers for patient transportation. Every unit is equipped with a Zoll Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillator. These devices are useful in the care and treatment of patients suffering from a cardiac emergency, such as an Acute Coronary Syndrome or a Cardiac Arrest. All of our monitors are manufactured by Zoll. All of our "front line" or "first due" apparatus carry either the Zoll M Series or Zoll E Series with "12-Lead EKG" capability. CCRS recently phased out the use of the Zoll 1600 Series monitors, and 2 of these models are kept for reserve use, however, all apparatus now carry a minimum of a Zoll M Series, with our "back line" unit being the only truck without a 12 Lead monitor. This success is thanks to support from Centra Health, The Stroobants Foundation, and The BREMS Regional Council. We are in the process now of acquiring the ability to transmit the 12 Lead to the ER prior to our arrival at the facility.
All of our medic units are rotated throughout our four(4) stations serving Campbell and Bedford Counties. Our department headquarters, Station 1, is located at 155 Rainbow Forest Drive, in close proximity to Timberlake Road (460 Business) and US Route 460 in Campbell County. Station 2 is located on Lawyers Road in Campbell County, where a medic unit is housed at the corner of US 29 SB and Lawyers Road. From Station 2, we are readily accessible to US Route 29 and US Route 460 and are located just outside the Lynchburg City limits. Station 3 is located on Leesville Road, near the Evington Post Office. With the medic unit located at Station 3, we promptly serve the community of Evington and can quickly access some of our "first-due" response area in Bedford County. CCRS Station 4 is located in Bedford County on Vista Centre Dive off of US Route 221 Business. There is one medic unit located at this station and serves the community of Forest and surrounding areas. Any of our medic units may be located in any station and may respond as needed to any part of our primary response area as needed or deemed necessary. The units are rotated in such a manner to ensure equal wear and tear on the vehicles. This also allows for accurate service/maintenance to every vehicle. These vehicles allow for us to provide prompt, quality care to you, the citizens of the area that we serve.
