Look How Joliet's EMS Works

Click on this link to see how the Joliet Fire Department works for Joliet.

Joliet has Paramedics in every station. Peoria has only been "cleared" to have two stations function as Paramedic.

Why?

The Joliet Fire Department has 9 ambulances for Paramedic care. The Peoria Fire Department doesn't even own an ambulance.

Why?

And all firefighters in Joliet must be Paramedics. Sounds like the Joliet Fire Department is supported by the city and Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center.

Quite a bit different than Peoria.

Why?
