They are local volunteers who maintain CPR skills as well as Advanced First Aid skills that prepare them to deal with traumatic physical injuries as well as serious medical emergencies until EMS arrives on the scene. First Responders assess injuries and illnesses and initiate emergency treatments prior to the arrival of the ambulance. They work very closely with EMS personnel to provide the public with prompt and efficient care in times of emergency.

Persons interested in more information on the First Responder Program or who would like to apply please contact the EMS Coordinator in your area.
