Belated posting. Adding here for the historical record. On September 20, 2024, Wake County EMS implemented changes to call signs as well as their staffing plan.
- Nine new transport units were added, to help with coverage during high-demand periods during the day as well as assisting during shift change.
- Three new shifts were created, to create staffing for the nine new transport units: eight-, ten-, and 14-hour shifts.
- The calls signs for transport units were changed:
- ALS ambulances – Medic 01 – Medic 99
- BLS ambulances – EMS 01 – Medic 99
- A unit will either be active as ALS (paramedic staffing) or BLS (EMT staffing). Both will never been in service with the same number at the same time.
- APP (Advanced Practice Paramedic) unit call signs were changed to the 900 series, e.g. Medic 901, Medic 902, etc.
