Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are the most requested service provided by the Fire Service. As such, members of the team are trained to the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic, EMT-Intermediate, or Paramedic level. EMS training allows for our members to rapidly assess a victim and begin providing the appropriate treatments within the New Mexico EMS scope of practice and team medical protocols. EMS providers are trained to handle a vast array of medical, trauma, and environmental related emergencies. Quickly assessing and beginning to treat a patient during rescue efforts greatly benefits the patient and may lead to a better outcome if he or she is critically injured or ill. Listed below are some of what each level can perform:
EMT-Basic
EMT-Intermediate
Paramedic
