Fort Worth's emergency medical services system has completed its first year of operation under the Fort Worth Fire Department. The system is operating within budget and delivering consistent medical outcomes. Ambulance travel times initially rose compared to the previous provider, but have dropped significantly over the past three months.

Officials expect this trend to continue. Results for critical patients, such as those with cardiac or respiratory issues, have improved or remained steady. Further details on the city's EMS performance are available from the Fort Worth Report, which obtained records and reported on a quarterly EMS Advisory Board meeting.
