– UTAH LICENSED EMS · • UTAH CODE 53-2D-210 COMPLIANT · • 24-HOUR DISPATCH
info@guardianmedx.org | DISPATCH: (801) 332-0012 option 2
Built for Utah’s wide-open desert racing — where the course is 100 miles long, the crash zone is 30 miles from pavement, and the responder already on course is your only option. ALS-capable. Helicopter-coordinated. Utah Code 53-2d-210 fully compliant.
Desert racing is the combination standard EMS cannot serve. Courses stretch 100+ miles across remote BLM land. Crashes happen 30 miles from the nearest road. Temperature extremes add heat injury risk on top of trauma risk.
🏜
Response assets must pre-stage along the course. Retrieval-style coverage does not work at desert-race distance.
🌡
Heat illness, dehydration, heat stroke. Pre-hydration, cooling station strategy, and active clinical monitoring required.
📡
Cellular and standard radio fail. Satellite comms, repeater chain, and redundant channels are operational baseline.
🚁
Helicopter medevac is the primary evacuation mode. LZ pre-identification and live coordination with flight crews is standard operating procedure.
The event profile here demands a specific combination of speed, clinical capability, and event-literate personnel. Here’s where most vendors fall short.
100+ mile race courses across remote desert. Response assets must be pre-positioned along the course — there’s no getting there from the finish line.
Desert valleys block radio and cellular. Without satellite comms and repeater plan, teams go 45 minutes without contact. That’s a dangerous gap.
Summer desert temps exceed 110°F. Trauma patients decompensate faster. Fluid resuscitation, cooling protocols, and heat illness management are baseline — not extras.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage protocol — translated specifically for this event type. Every stage produces a document your team and your underwriter can read.
Course mapping with race management. Pre-positioned aid station identification. Hospital capability mapping along evacuation routes. Heat index forecast review.
ALS Paramedics at pre-positioned aid stations. UTVs for course interior. Drone aerial coverage. GMMC mobile clinic at start/finish with IV/cooling capacity.
Race control integration. Helicopter EMS liaison pre-race. Satellite comms tested. Repeater chain active. Physician-authored heat protocols armed.
Every patient contact in HIPAA-compliant ePCR. Real-time race control status updates. AAR with heat-illness trend data delivered within 24 hours.

📻
Desert backcountry medicine. Heat illness. Dehydration. Patient care in field conditions 30+ miles from pavement.
Lost-rider risk across 100-mile courses. Coordination with BLM, Sheriff SAR teams. K9 SAR available on request.
Helicopter EMS coordination. LZ operations. High-acuity transport handoff. FP-C on roster for desert race deployments.
For VIP or celebrity team support at desert races. Discretion-compatible. TCCC / TECC-certified responders available.
Fuel spill response, fire suppression coordination. Operations-level HazMat certification for post-crash scene management.
ACLS, PHTLS, ITLS, AMLS. IV fluid resuscitation and heat illness protocols physician-authorized and field-deployed.
Aggregate totals across our book. Individual engagements served under confidentiality are not named here.
The drone identified the crash location 11 minutes before our own sweep team would have found it. That timing was the difference between a bad day and a very bad day.
Guardian’s medic treated our driver on location before securing him and transferring him to their clinic. He didn’t have to go anywhere and was back in the car the next day. That’s the coverage level you pay for.
Multi-loop 12-mile UTV race with 84 entries. Peak temperature 108°F. Arsenal deployed: three Medical Response UTVs pre-positioned throughout the loop. GMMC at start/finish with active cooling, Rehydration capability, two beds. Guardian Angel drone continuous aerial sweep. Continuous comms with track staff. Specialty credentials: Wilderness Paramedic, Flight Paramedic, SAR-credentialed support.
Guardian MedX maintains familiarity with the medical coverage requirements of every major governing body for this racing type.
Pre-positioned aid stations, not retrieval-style coverage. Medical Response UTVs staged at risk-weighted course positions. Drone aerial sweep continuously. GMMC at start/finish as primary treatment hub. Helicopter EMS pre-coordinated with LZ identification done pre-race.
Satellite comms as primary backup. Repeater chain established pre-race at high points. Redundant channels tested race morning. Race control gets status updates even when cellular is dead across the basin.
Yes. ALS-capable with physician-authorized IV protocols. GMMC has active cooling, IV fluid stock, two patient beds. This is baseline for summer desert races, not an upgrade.
Yes. Pre-race coordination is standard. LZ identification and GPS coordinates shared with regional helicopter EMS providers. Our Flight Paramedic handles live coordination during evacuation, not an overwhelmed race volunteer.
HazMat Operations-certified responders on roster for desert deployments. Post-crash fire suppression and fuel containment coordinated with local fire response. We don’t outsource scene safety management to untrained volunteers.
Yes. Guardian MedX operates under an in-house Emergency Physician Medical Director — the same model used by municipal 911 systems. Clinical protocols are owned and maintained by a licensed emergency physician. Utah raised the bar in May 2025; we already meet the full standard, and the audit trail is handled so you don’t have to manage it.
