SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Zoneton Fire Department wants to start its own ambulance service to reduce response times across Bullitt County.

"Run volumes are going up," Fire Chief Kevin Moulton said. "Response times are going up."

Here are the average response times for Bullitt County EMS in Zonton Fire District over the past three years:

2023: 9.39 minutes for 1,061 runs

2024: 13.5 minutes for 2,965 runs

2025 (Jan. to June): 12 minutes for 1,445 runs

In that same time period, Zoneton Fire's EMS runs have averaged between 4 to 5 minutes. Moulton said his department has responded to more than 435 of those calls so far in 2025.

"I'm not bashing Bullitt County EMS," Moulton said. "I'm not bashing our county, but they just need help. Their run volumes are going up."
