I called 9-1-1 for a medical emergency and fire apparatus came to my home?
Fire Department vehicles are fully equipped with first-aid, basic, and advanced emergency medical response supplies, including defibrillators. All of our firefighters are State of Ohio Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Paramedics and are trained to handle medical calls. The Fire Engines will often respond along with the Medic Unit on serious medical calls. If the Medic Unit in your area is out on another call, an Engine Company may be dispatched as a First Responder to provide emergency care until another Medic Unit arrives to the scene.
