Oriskany Fire Department
Our Emergency Medical Technicians are highly trained individuals, who are required by New York State to take many hours of classroom and field work in order to become and remain certified EMTs. We have EMTs at the basic and intermediate levels of skill.
Emergency Medical Services represents a great majority of our department's calls each year. We run a variety of medical calls, ranging from the basic "first aid" type to the extreme "code 99" cardiac arrest calls. No call ever is "routine" with EMS since patients may become unresponsive at any time, even if it's just a "band-aid" type call.
Our EMTs work very closely with our non-EMTs on every EMS call, as every extra set of hands is always appreciated. EMS is a team effort, and our department works very well together. Everyone has a chance to make a difference with EMS - to save the life of a neighbor.
