City of El Reno begins in-house EMS service July 1

EL RENO, Okla. (KFOR) - City leaders in El Reno are celebrating a major milestone in public safety and emergency response with its own in-house Emergency Medical Service (EMS) beginning July 1.

El Reno leaders say the EMS program marks one of the most significant public service enhancements in recent history.

Residents can expect the ambulance services to be operated directly by the City through the newly established El Reno EMS Department.

The City is also seeking to hire 15 to 20 EMTs and Paramedics.
