Munster EMS reports 237 calls in June; response times improve slightly
Summary
Town emergency medical services reported 237 calls in June with average response-to-scene time around 3 minutes 24 seconds and average patient-side time about 4 minutes 15 seconds; staff noted roughly 50 mutual-aid responses and flagged four trips for follow-up.
Munster emergency medical services told the board that June saw 237 calls or trips and a modest improvement in response times. "In June, there were 237 calls or trips and the average response time to the scene was 3 minutes and 24 seconds," an agency official reported.
The presenter said patient-side times averaged about 4 minutes and 15 seconds, an improvement from May, and noted the department provided mutual aid on about 50 calls, including responses to nearby jurisdictions. The official said staff had followed up with Superior on four trips and that one remaining case still required clarification.
Board members did not propose new policy changes at the meeting; the official described the month as "a good overall report" while flagging a few items for additional review.
