Essex-Windsor EMS has a team of over 260 full-time and part-time paramedics led by District Chiefs who work 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year to provide high quality pre-hospital emergency medical care.

Our paramedics treat more than 47,000 patients ever year and our ambulances are dispatched from 12 bases, traveling more than 2,250,000 KM each year. We adhere to a response time standard of two minutes for emergency calls and three minutes for non-emergency calls.

Essex-Windsor EMS operates out of 12 ambulance bases strategically located to ensure rapid response times. The administrative offices are located at the Essex County Civic Centre.

The bases are located at:An Emergency Response Unit

Fleet and Equipment

Essex-Windsor EMS uses the latest technology and specialized vehicles and equipment to provide the best patient care possible.

We utilize a Lucas CPR machine, which performs hands-free CPR, and we use hydraulic stretchers, stair chairs, modern cardiac monitors/defibrillators and a Hover-Mat and Hover-Jack system. We make use of a GPS system and communicate via radio and cell phone.

Ambulances make up the bulk of our fleet of more than 50 vehicles, but we also have special event vehicles, emergency response units, a logistics van, a specialized bariatric and Haz-Mat unit, administrative vehicles and District Chief vehicles.

County Council has also recently approved the purchase of Essex-Windsor EMS's first hybrid ambulances.
