AMR Golden consists of two dedicated 24/7 ALS type I, 4x4 ambulances staffed by 6 EMT Basics and 6 Paramedics on a rotating 48/96 schedule. These two crews respond to all 911, emergent and non-emergent calls for service originating within the City of Golden and some surrounding areas.
The Golden operation as a whole has a service area that encompasses 110 square miles of urban, industrial and rural settings.
EMT’s and Paramedics operate under Denver Metro Protocols and enjoy an excellent relationship with a dedicated physician adviser. All Fire Departments served by this operation are volunteer BLS fire agencies, and as such our Paramedics have medical control of all calls.
Both crews are quartered at their own station with beds, living quarters, bathrooms, showers, kitchen, wireless internet and cable.
Standard equipment includes LP 15’s, Stryker Power Cots and stair chairs, fiber optic laryngoscopes, video laryngoscopy, 800/900mHz and VHF communication with onboard wireless and AVL.
Call volume is cyclical and variable. Average call volume for the operation is 300-350 calls per month. These calls include typical calls for service similar to any EMS operation in addition to high risk sporting injuries including: base jumping, paragliding, rock/Ice climbing, kayaking and spelunking.
