Port Washington Fire Department Emergency Medical
Technicians (EMTs) have been providing a wide variety of pre-hospital care
since 1949 to Port Washington and surrounding areas. Two department
ambulances are available for the 24-7 responses. Members are
reimbursed on an on-call basis. Once trained and licensed, they
respond to pages for emergency calls, usually transporting patients to Columbia- St. Mary's Ozaukee Campus in Mequon
or the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. The Port Washington
Fire Department Emergency Medical Services provide two levels of
pre-hospital emergency care. The EMT-Basic level requires the
completion of a six month course (approximately 8 hours per week) through
MATC. The more advanced, EMT-Intermediate Technician, requires an
additional three month course with a 30 hour critical care clinical
rotation. Mandatory refresher courses are offered every two years,
in addition to monthly practices at the fire department. |
