the importance of ems in the fire service
Many of the incidents the modern fire service responds to are medical. With the enhancements and advancement of fire prevention standards, building construction fire codes, and the requirements for fire protection systems, fires are not as frequent as they were in the past. An integral part of the outstanding services the Ontario Fire Department provides is its emergency medical services (EMS). The Ontario Fire Department standards provide that every Advanced Life Support (ALS) unit is staffed with 4 firefighters, two of which are paramedics. This allows the Ontario Fire Department to provide high-quality emergency medical care for each patient that we treat. Strategically placed fire engines and truck companies allow us to respond within minutes to emergencies and provide the highest quality service to our citizens and visitors when needed. The Ontario Fire Department maintains high standards and expectations for its members across all disciplines within the fire service and EMS is no exception. Hundreds of hours each year are dedicated to EMS training in subjects such as CPR, pharmacology, tactical medicine, and advanced cardiac life support. Within this page, you find training institutions near you to get you prepared for a career in the fire service.
“THERE IS NO EASY WAY. There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline. DISCIPLINE.”
– Jocko Willink
