The Englewood Fire Department has upgraded Tower 75 to an Advanced Life Support truck, expanding its capacity to deliver critical medical care in emergencies.
With the addition, four of the department’s six frontline fire apparatus are now ALS-certified. These units are staffed with firefighter/paramedics and equipped with advanced medications, cardiac monitoring technology, and life-saving tools designed to treat severe medical and trauma emergencies before patients reach the hospital.
The upgrade is part of a broader initiative to strengthen emergency medical services in response to Englewood’s growth. Officials say expanding ALS coverage improves response times, increases access to advanced pre-hospital care, and supports better patient outcomes across the community.
The move underscores the department’s focus on prioritizing community service and enhancing resources to meet evolving public safety needs.
