Fire-Rescue paramedics and ambulances are in place to provide pre-hospital emergency medical care and if necessary, transportation to a medical facility (hospital) during emergency situations. The purpose of the program is to provide emergency care. For this reason, Fire-Rescue ambulances only transport patients to hospital emergency departments.
Non-emergency transports, such as doctor’s office visits, dialysis treatments or return transport from a hospital to a residence are handled by one of the several private ambulance service providers.
