     The medic response vehicle, or “fly car” as it is more commonly known, is used by one of our EMT’s or Paramedics to respond directly to the scene of a medical emergency. This allows care to begin as soon as possible while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

     This vehicle is equipped with more extensive medical equipment then our chief’s carry in their vehicles due to the fact there is more space with no firefighting equipment on board. The medical equipment includes first aid, trauma and burn kits, oxygen, immobilization splints, a long spine board, a Kendrick extrication device and an AED. With this equipment most situations are able to be effectively and quickly handled while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. This allows the patient to be transported quicker, decreasing the time spent on the scene and the delay to more advanced care in the hospital.
