The primary function of NorthWest EMS is to provide fast, high-quality emergency care to those in need. EMS operations covers all the "every day" emergency ambulance calls for service, and represents both the primary activity of NorthWest EMS, and the busiest aspect of it by providing prehospital emergency medical care to the sick and injured citizens and guests of the fourteen municipalities we serve.
Along with the treatment and transport of sick and injured patients, NorthWest EMS is also responsible for providing medical coverage for numerous special events and details throughout our communities. These events include professional, college and high school events, firework displays, musical concerts and other neighborhood functions.
EMS Operations Division Chiefs and District Chiefs are on duty 24 hours/day, routinely assigned to Squad 190. The three EMS Division Chiefs oversee field operations on a full time basis, focusing on system status management, incident command, and medical-backup assistance as well as other duties that pertain to their specific division within the company.
