What To Do in Case of Emergency?
When you have an emergency, immediately call 9-1-1 and give the dispatcher the following information:
-
Nature of the illness or accident
-
Number of people involved
-
Exact location including address, apartment number or block of the street
-
Your name and call back number
-
Anything else the dispatcher might ask
-
DO NOT HANG UP UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE DISPATCHER
Our EMS agency will be immediately dispatched via radio/pager to the call. Our closest ambulance will respond immediately and should be there within minutes.
Keeping a list of your medications and medical history available for our paramedics is helpful.

HOW MANY PERSONNEL RESPOND TO MY EMERGENCY?
We realize that it is overwhelming to have a room full of strangers descend on you. We average 4 people on each call. We limit those on scene to the number needed to provide safe and expert care.
