Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Ok I have a question for everyone here and would like your opinion. I live in a town of about 19,000 people. I work for the local EMS company here that covers the entire county of about 85,000 people. We have a total of 6 first responder organizations. Now to my question. Does fire have any Incident Command over EMS calls? I was just wondering because it seems that they think that they do. My understanding is that they have Incident Command over fire calls and EMS until a company representative of the EMS service shows up. Once that person shows up then it is immediately transferred to the medic-in-charge which would be the personnel from the EMS service. Now if I am wrong please let me know. If I am not please let me know and where can you find something law wise saying that? FIRE OR EMS over medical or trauma calls? Also it is my understanding that EMS also launch the air med unit not the fire departments. Unless the fire department is EMS as well?
