EACH DAY we staff a minimum of 10 dedicated Advanced Life Support
(ALS) companies with at least 26 Firefighter-Paramedics to respond to your
emergencies!
-- 4 ALS engine companies
-- 2 ALS truck companies
-- 4 ALS ambulances
Each ALS ambulance responds with 2 paramedic-firefighters.
Each ALS engine and truck responds with a minimum of 2
paramedic-firefighters out of the three-person crew.
BEST FOR THE MOST
In order to provide
the BEST patient care, we respond with a minimum of 5 well trained
personnel to EVERY emergency medical call. EMS (Emergency Medical
Services) is delivered by our Paramedic-Firefighters, who are
additionally certified in:
·
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
·
Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)
·
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
PRIMARY PROVIDERS
Starting with Basic
Life Support supplies (such as first aid equipment); All ALS
companies carry a full complement of Advanced Life Support equipment
including airway management devices, cardiac monitor/defibrillators
(equipped with state of the art “12 lead” ECG’s), IV setups
and medications.
Furthermore, in addition to FIREFIGHTING
capabilities, each ALS Engine and Truck company carry RESCUE tools
including vehicle extrication equipment (i.e. – “Jaws of Life”).
Therefore, these Fire Based EMS First Responder apparatus (Fire
Engines & Trucks) are truly your
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
no matter what the nature of the call:
FIRE – RESCUE – EMS
As Primary
Providers, ALS Fire Engines & Trucks are strategically located to
respond quickly to WHATEVER the call for help. Then, instead of
having to transport the patient, these units are “available” sooner
and able to respond again to the ever increasing additional back to
back calls for help.
The BEST
for the MOST - it could be
YOU!
