Ambulance Station Locations
The design layout for the ambulance stations in Franklin County is known as a "satellite system".  The ambulances are strategically located to best meet the needs of the county's citizens by being "satellited" around the county.Franklin county is also working on a ambulance to be stationed in carnesville.

Franklin County EMS works like a team and each station has a zone to cover just like a baseball player on the field.  If one station is busy, the other 2 act as backup for that zone.
Station 1 -  Located in Franklin Springs  .   Positioned to reach the highest density of the population in the southeastern portion of the county.  Also is within 2 miles of the local hospital.

Station 2 - Located in the heart of Lavonia, this station provides rapid access to both the interstate  and the gumlog area.  

Station 3 - Situated to cover both the agricultural western half of the county and the Carnesville area.  This ambulance also covers the southern half of I-85 in the county.
The 911 Center - "The heart of the county's communications"

Located directly in the center of the county across the street from the high school, the county's 911 center is also the location of 2 back up ambulances.  During the day the 911 center usually has the staff to man a 4th ambulance if necessary.  Our EMS and 911 director Terry Harris, does first-respond to emergency calls that are close to the 911 center if needed.  We also have some dispatchers that are EMT's and first responders  as well.
