Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps (WVAC) provides 911 emergency medical services ambulance to the town of Wilton, CT with two state of the art equipped Basic Life Support ambulances and a full-time paramedic from Norwalk Hospital who responds in an Advanced Life Support equipped flycar.As our name suggests, we are a volunteer organization. Crews are composed of a Crew Chief and a Driver (sometimes supplemented by a third attendant) who work in conjunction with the Norwalk Hospital Paramedic to provide Emergency Medical Service to the town. We have roughly 58 members, most of whom are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) trained to render care ranging from simple splinting of a broken finger to lifesaving emergency defibrillation using an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). While most scheduled crews respond to emergency calls together in the ambulance, WVAC adds another tier to the normal emergency response system. We encourage our members to participate in a system we call "Neighborhood Response." Most of our members are actual residents or daytime employees in Wilton and are issued pagers with which they can hear and respond to calls. If one of our off-duty EMTs receives a call that is near to his/her location, he/she is encouraged to respond and begin assessing and treating the patient as yet another layer in the medical care process. This multi-tier response system ensures that every emergency medical call that comes in receives the most rapid, effective response possible.
