The Wimberley Emergency Medical Services has reached a new milestone. In 2025, a third ambulance will be put into service which will allow the hiring of six to nine additional EMS staff.
With the addition of a new ambulance, the total number of vehicles owned by Wimberley EMS will amount to five, however two vehicles are always outside the rotation for maintenance and service.
EMS Director Ken Strange, who assumed the role in 2004, explained, “For those times when our crews would go from one call to the next, it led to the decision to add an ambulance and more staff.” The district is roughly divided into north and south regions. One ambulance and crew generally covers one region while the other ambulance and its medics serve the other. In 2025 when staff is fully installed, one ambulance will service the north, where fewer calls originate, and two will service the busier southern area.
