EMS

Were you aware that over 70% of The Whitesboro Fire Department's calls are EMS (Emergency Medical Services) related? Its true! Although we are a Fire Department, we respond to roughly 600 medical emergencies in our community. As First Responders, we arrive on the scene first, secure it (where necessary) and provide immediate first aid and life saving care until a transporting unit arrives to take the patient to the appropriate healthcare facility.

The Whitesboro Fire Department currently maintains both BLS (Basic Life Support) and ALS (Advanced Life Support) trained members who are constantly updating and refreshing their skills in accordance with New York State Protocols for BLS/ALS providers, in order to provide the highest standards of healthcare to our community. With the addition of Rescue 2, The Whitesboro Fire Department is now able to respond to multiple calls in our jurisdiction if needed with 3 units: Rescue 1, Rescue 2 and Engine 2 (a Fire Engine that is equipped with medical equipment and responds to Motor Vehicle Accidents.)
