Lambton EMS to open temporary station in Sarnia
Lambton EMS is set to open a temporary station in Sarnia. At council's meeting on May 7, it approved the lease of a commercial property to be the temporary station. It is located at 805 Upper Canada Drive. This facility will allow EMS to expand its services until construction on the permanent headquarters at the Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park can be finished. According to a news release from the County of Lambton, construction was approved earlier this year alongside the provision of an additional 12 hours of daily ambulance service. The temporary location will have two ambulances staffed during the day and one overnight, beginning in July. Existing EMS stations will also continue offering service. 'The temporary station at Upper Canada Drive will not only help to provide improved emergency coverage to the west end of Lambton County but will also help reduce response times to life-threatening emergencies throughout the county,' said Stephen Turner, Lambton EMS manager. 'We're thankful for the support of County Council and the community and we're looking forward to continuing delivering on the goals set out in our Master Plan.'
