EMS

Emergency Medical Services

The bulk of the fire department’s responses involve requests for emergency medical services. These runs vary in nature and urgency, ranging from non-life-threatening calls for first aid, all the way to patients who are critically ill. This could involve trauma, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and/or cardiac arrest. Because EMS requirements and regulations are continually evolving to meet the demands of society, the dual trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics of the Brewster Fire Department are continually training to learn new life saving techniques and procedures while simultaneously remaining competent in the use of the equipment that is currently carried on the ambulances.
