Firefighter EMT Paramedics
This program provides Advance Life Support (ALS). A Paramedic is essentially an advanced level of EMT certification. Paramedics must complete an extensive training program to enable them to perform specialized skills and procedures. These skills include advanced airway management, including intubation, intravenous therapy, pharmacology and drug administration, cardiac monitoring and defibrillation.
Pineville Fire Dept. utilizes 2 Medic Trucks, each staffed with 1 paramedic, which provide ALS treatment prior to transportation to local hospitals by one of the local ambulance services.
