In addition to providing Fire/Rescue Services, the Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department also provides Emergency Medical Care to their district. The company operates 2 BLS ambulances and an EMS Command unit. This Branch of the company is responsible for patient care at emergency scenes. All the members of the EMS branch are either National Registered Emergency Medical Technician Basic (NREMT-B) or National Registered Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (NREMT-P) as well as Automated Emergency Defibrillator (AED) and are required to take all the qualifying courses to become a Firefighter and Rescue Technician. All of this training adds up to over 1,300 hrs. which they take voluntarily. The department pays for the training courses but the members are not paid for any of their time it is TOTALLY VOLUNTEER. They have been trained to spring into action and treat anything from a subject with a minor laceration to life-saving CPR. However, no matter how serious the call, we always feel and know we have done all we can to help the patient in need.
