The City of Alcoa Fire-Rescue Department runs a program called Emergency Medical First Responder. Upon calling for an ambulance or any motor vehicle accident with injuries, the Alcoa Fire-Rescue Department dispatches the nearest Engine Company to provide basic life support until an ambulance arrives to transport the patient to a local emergency facility.
