In a move aimed at revamping the way emergencies are handled in Fort Worth, city officials, and the Fort Worth Firefighters Association have come to a preliminary agreement to initiate a new EMS system that will be integrated within the Fort Worth Fire Department, as stated in the City of Fort Worth. This plan, which surfaced after the last contract negotiation meeting held last Tuesday, outlines a transition that would see EMTs and paramedics from MedStar, the current provider, being incorporated into the fire department’s ranks.
