Mtn. Home Fire / Rescue Department not only
responds to your calls for fire emergencies, but anytime there is a medical
emergency or an injury accident we are there too. Due to the location
of our fire stations, and having highly trained EMT-B's on all fire apparatus
we are able to reach a scene in a matter of minutes and start providing
or assisting with patient care until an ambulance arrives. This is critical
in any heart attack or cardiac arrest victim when minutes count. The department
currently carries 6 Semi-Automated Defibrillators on fire apparatus, along
with oxygen, SPO2 meters, suction units, and other Basic Life Support
equipment.
Anyone interested in a CPR or AED class may call the department and speak with Lt. Bob Harris for details.
