New Brunswick fire departments handle increased calls, higher medical alerts
Ambulance New Brunswick staff could not provide a clear number on how many calls were put into the ambulance service through the calendar year but noted that numbers in the 2021-22 fiscal year were up nearly 10 per cent from the previous year, with 125,160 calls placed between April 1st, 2021 and March 31st, 2022“That determination can only be done by hospital staff upon arrival at emergency department,” said spokesperson Eric Robichaud.
“Paramedics are able to treat symptoms on scene and en route to the hospital, but only a blood and toxicology exam can determine if an overdose has truly taken place.”The numbers come as New Brunswick cities deal with the growing pains of population growth. In Riverview, N.B., fire crews have been fighting the most significant call volume since they stopped ambulance service in 2007, with over 1,400 calls in 2022.
“Anytime you have a population increase, you can expect in call volumes from year to year,” said John Malloy, Town of Riverview Deputy Chief of Fire Prevention.
