Darien has a contract with Stamford EMS to ensure you are properly scooped up.

OK,*that* makes sense.But if that's the case why the story about high school kids doing ambulance work?

The Darien crew provides basic life support, utilizing EMT skills. When they need a advanced life support (paramedic skills) they get Stamford EMS providing intercepts.

I’m a paid, union EMT in New Haven. We don’t have a suburb like Darien and pretty much cover the county for all the BLS calls and share the ALS with local fire departments. The situation in Darien is an anomaly that has stood the test of time.
