Emergency medical care and transportation in Wilton are provided twenty four hours a day by the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps (WVAC) using equipment, facilities, and dispatching services owned and maintained by the Town. There are fifty volunteer members including Emergency Medical Technicians, Medical Response Technicians, and drivers. In addition to the volunteer hours, the workweek day shifts consist of two members who are paid by the Town. In May of 1994, the Towns of Wilton and Weston formed Wilton-Weston Advanced Life Support, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, the sole purpose of which is to provide 24 hour paramedic coverage in both towns. Wilton-Weston ALS, Inc. contracted with Norwalk Hospital to provide the paramedics. For ambulance transport only, Wilton bills users. The fees are deposited into a special ambulance replacement revenue fund which, by ordinance, can be used only for direct operating expenses of, and capital equipment used for, emergency medical transport.
