Sonoma Life Support and Gold Ridge Fire Protection District today announced they have partnered to make it easier for some Sonoma County residents to receive Advanced Life Support medical transportation services.

Sonoma Life Support, operated by American Medical Response, the nation’s largest provider of ground medical transportation services, will begin stationing an Advanced Life Support ambulance at Gold Ridge Fire Protection District Station 2 24-hours a day starting this month.

The ambulance will provide expedited emergency medical care for the unincorporated areas of Western Sonoma County including Hessel, Twin Hills and Freestone.

“This partnership delivers a higher level of service to our community and ensures that every measure is taken to help our residents,” said Shepley Schroth-Cary, Fire Chief for Gold Ridge Fire Protection District.

This partnership was made possible by the passage of Measure E on the 2019 ballot and will increase efficiency for the district and help meet demands for medical emergency calls from within the Gold Ridge Fire Protection District.

“We are honored to continue enhancing the services provided to the communities of Hessel, Twin Hills and Freestone,” said Brian Henricksen, Regional Director for Global Medical Response. “We look forward to working in partnership with the outstanding personnel of the Gold Ridge Fire Protection District to provide a needed service to the community.”
