Fire-based EMS

Fire-based EMS refers to emergency medical services provided by fire departments. These teams are trained healthcare professionals, such as paramedics and emergency medical technicians, who respond to medical emergencies, accidents, and disasters. They often arrive quickly due to their presence in fire apparatus, providing immediate care and life-saving interventions. Fire-based EMS promotes seamless coordination with fire suppression services, ensuring comprehensive emergency response. This system enhances community safety by delivering rapid, professional medical assistance directly from fire departments, especially in areas where dedicated ambulance services may not be available or are integrated for efficient emergency management.
