Over 82% of Glendale Fire Department’s incidents are medical in nature. When a call for medical assistance is received, an ambulance staffed with paramedics is dispatched to the location, usually accompanied by a fire engine with additional personnel.
All sworn fire personnel are trained and certified Emergency Medical Technicians, and many have received substantial additional medical training to earn the title of Paramedic. All five Glendale rescue ambulances are staffed with two paramedics at all times, which provides the citizens of Glendale with an exemplary level of medical response.
Glendale’s Emergency Medical Services Program is now in its ninth year of operation. The administrative aspect of the program provides for quality control, logistics, training, and billing/financial issues related to paramedic ambulance responses in the community.
