One of the newest pieces of equipment at the department is a high-tech EKG. On top of measuring and recording electrical signals from the heart, it provides all this care outside of the emergency room.
It's just one of the newest safety measures officially added at the Lodi Fire Department, and it's all part of their new program called Advanced Life Support Services.
But that's not all that's new with the department.
After four years of work, grants, purchasing equipment and schooling, ten paramedics have officially been introduced to the city of Lodi.
Lodi Fire runs just shy of 8,000 calls per year. More than 70% of those calls are for different types of medical assistance.
"Having trained paramedics who can actually engage immediately makes the workplace itself even safer," Chief Johnson explained. "So the balance between higher level of service for our community at the thing we do the most of and also providing a safer working environment for my people makes it all around a no-brainer."
The department is still in the process of expanding its 24/7 paramedic services to all four fire stations within the city with the hopes of that being accomplished by the end of next year.
