In Ontario, ambulance communication centres have defined legislated requirements to rapidly handle emergency calls, mandating ambulance dispatches within two minutes for the highest priority situations, such as cardiac arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>District Chair Jeff Lehman also inquired about the effectiveness of the new Paramedic Response Unit (PRU) program based in MacTier. A PRU is a specialized emergency response vehicle staffed by a paramedic, though it is not equipped for patient transportation. Since the PRU was only established in December 2024, McKinnon noted that there is currently limited data available; however, early indications suggest that response times in that area of the district have nearly been halved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lehman praised MPS for their exemplary service in light of the significant call volume and the geographical challenges posed by serving such a vast area.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2013, Muskoka Parmedics Services (MPS) has met or exceeded all of the provincially mandated time targets, and 2024 was no exception.
