To draw greater awareness to the issue, three highly distinguished EMS physicians recently released a report titled, Prehospital 911 Emergency Medical Response: The Role of the United States Fire Service in Delivery and Coordination (click here to download report). CFSI will provide copies of the report to federal lawmakers and Administration officials as part of their efforts to help policy makers in Washington, DC better understand how they can address the needs of fire service-based EMS in this country. The coalition also produced a video, “Fire Service-Based EMS: The Right Response to complement the white paper. To order a copy of the video, contact CFSI at update@cfsi.org.
