EMS Bike Team

PFRES EMS Division recently placed our EMS Bicycle Team in service to provide basic lifesaving services more efficiently during large public events such as concerts, art festivals and parades.

 

 The Bike Team is staffed with highly-trained and qualified members of the department who volunteer for this duty. Team members are capable of providing basic first aid, CPR and stablization of more serious injuries and illnesses until the arrival of a fully-capable medic unit. They also provide the department with "eyes on" large gatherings, providing information to command officers and requesting additional resources that may be needed.
