According to the State of Wisconsin EMS website, the EMS office underwent a status change, effective October 1, 2014. Formerly considered an “EMS Unit” these past few years, the office was upgraded and reinstated to its former classification as “Section”, and is referred to the “EMS Section” within state government.
While the move doesn’t bring back the glory years dating back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when the EMS office was considered a “Bureau”, the move to Section is nonetheless welcomed.
