If you or your family members are suffering a medical emergency and you call 911, you will be asked to relay important information regarding your symptoms to the dispatcher through a series of questions. Relaying this information is pertinent so responding personnel arrive to the scene with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Pictured here is one of our firefighters with different level of PPE based on the answers you provide to the dispatch center,

The change in what we are wearing doesn’t affect the critical work that is performed on patients, it just works to ensure our firefighters are protected so that they can continue to serve your community.
