Why do Dike Fire Rescue trucks respond to emergency medical calls?
Dike Firefighters are trained as First Responders, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Paramedics. Our primary mission is to save lives and alleviate suffering. The Dike Fire Department can arrive quickly and begin emergency medical treatment or life saving techniques such as CPR and/or use automatic cardiac defibrillators (AED’s). Dike Fire Department First Responders, EMTs and Paramedics arrive on the scene quickly and stabilize the patients medical condition. The Dike Fire Department also provides ambulance services to provide transport to the hospital.
