Sumner County Emergency Medical Services

The new Sumner County Emergency Medical Services Building provides critical infrastructure to support emergency response capabilities throughout the surrounding communities. This facility is specifically designed to accommodate four shifts of full-time EMS responders.

The living portion of the building emphasizes responder comfort and operational efficiency, featuring bunk rooms with private restrooms and showers, personal lockers for each responder, and dedicated workspace areas. Additionally, a spacious day room and fully-equipped kitchen offer comfortable environments for responders between calls, enhanced by individual pantry storage for each shift. An adjacent outdoor patio area provides a place for relaxation and socialization, contributing to improved morale and team cohesion. This facility also provides a dedicated fitness space.

Operationally, the living and administrative areas are thoughtfully separated from the apparatus bay to minimize disruptions and maintain comfort. The four-unit apparatus bay itself is heated and ventilated, ensuring optimal conditions for equipment storage and vehicle readiness. Equipped with four high-speed coiling doors, the bay allows for rapid departures in emergency situations while significantly reducing heat loss during colder months, resulting in improved energy efficiency and overall building performance.

This comprehensive EMS building not only meets current operational needs but is designed to accommodate future growth and evolving emergency response requirements within Sumner County.
