| As well as fire fighters we also provide a First Responder service to aid in medical emergencies. You may see us showing up to a scene in blue coveralls.
Tips to assist us in providing our First Responder service:- Always pull over if you see lights and/or hear sirens
- Have a current list of your medicines, medical conditions, and care card available.
* Please note that these online call statistics only cover January 2008 onwards, therefore there may be ommissions for date ranges that are comprised of earlier dates. |
