Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "North Richland Hills, Texas" in English language version.
The City of North Richland Hills prides itself on the delivery of state of the art emergency medical services to our community. The ambulance and fire trucks are staffed by cross trained firefighter/paramedics. A fire truck is dispatched with the ambulance on many calls for various reasons. In some instances, the fire truck may be closer and can initiate medical care before the arrival of the ambulance. North Richland Hills uses very aggressive pre-hospital emergency care treatments and the fire truck and ambulance crews together make a highly efficient team to provide you with an unsurpassed level of care.
All four of our ambulances are licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services as mobile intensive care units (MICUs) and are staffed with firefighters / paramedics. Each fire apparatus is staffed with firefighter / paramedics that carry advanced life support equipment. Occasionally the fire company is the first to arrive at an emergency and this enables us to provide an advanced level of medical care as soon as possible.
