Emergency Medical Services
QUICK RESPONSE TEAM (QRT):

EMS is an essential component of the services provided by the fire service in the United States. The American fire service is strategically and geographically well positioned to deliver time critical response and effective patient care rapidly. As such, the fire service has become the first-line medical responder for critical illnesses and injuries in almost every community in the United States.
NBFR staff and volunteer medical providers consist of: Paramedic, Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMT), Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) and BLS CPR Providers. Our members go through continuous training to assist with patient care in the field.
