EMT's (EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS)

Downieville Ambulance EMT’s and DVFD are dispatched to the scene of an emergency: a vehicle accident, a fire, an injury, a birth or a person who's suddenly fallen ill. Once at the scene of the emergency, EMTs assess the situation and determine if ordering additional assistance is needed. The EMTs assess the medical needs and provides immediate care, within the scope of their training. EMTs are trained for Basic Life Support (BLS) treatments, in some emergencies, BLS care will manage patients until they arrive at the hospital.

When entering the scene of an emergency, DVFD and EMS providers must be prepared to deal with whatever comes their way. EMTs must be able to maintain their composure in extremely stressful situations. It’s important to keep a clear head and remain objective about medical situations so that emergency lifesaving procedures can be performed.
