You or a loved one are faced with a sudden medical emergency. An illness or an accident strikes, and every second counts. You need trained medical assistance and you need it STAT.
If you call 911, you must wait and wait until an ambulance can come to your aid. But that delay in your time of need can have dire consequences.

Precisely why Medics SOS was created. The moment an emergency arises in your home or office, a simple touch of a button puts you in immediate contact with a highly trained Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) who is armed with world- class training and your personal medical profile.

The EMS levy raises about $8 million annually and would assist with paying for:

First Response basic and advanced life support response.
Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians and Firefighter/Paramedics.
Medical supplies and equipment plus general operating costs.
Vehicle and equipment maintenance.
EMS training.
EMS management and quality improvement programs.
The EMS levy would be at the same rate as approved in 2004. It cannot exceed 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value; thats $50 a year for a property worth $100,000 or $100 a year on a property worth $200,000.

The Fire Department has been involved with EMS for more than 50 years. The EMS Levy has been in place since 1980. The funding raised by the EMS levy equals about 25 percent of the Citys General Fund allocation to the Fire Department.

Since 2005, the Spokane Fire Department has responded to more 20,000 emergency medical calls. Those calls have accounted for more than 80 percent of incident calls annually since 2005. During that time, the Citys population has grown somewhat—from about 198,000 to about 205,000.
