First Responder Program

Trained and equipped firefighters provide the quickest possible response to medical emergencies.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade - Emergency Medical Response

When a person collapses in cardiac arrest, every minute counts.

The Emergency Medical Response program (EMR) is designed to strengthen early CPR and defibrillation and therefore save lives.

During a medical emergency, the closest firefighters are dispatched at the same time as the closest ambulance.
