Emergency Medical Services

4 Ambulance 2

Since 2000 the Bristol Fire Department has been responsible for Emergency Medical Services in the town of Bristol. This delivery model is referred to as "Fire-based EMS." All career members of the Fire Department are trained to at least the Advanced EMT level. The majority of the call employees are EMS certified or cross trained in Fire and EMS.

Bristol Fire Department operates under an Advanced Life Support license at the Paramedic level. The Department has two ambulances that are fully equipped to handle the many differing medical and traumatic emergencies that we are called to respond to. 

In addition to serving the town of Bristol, Bristol Fire Department provides Emergency Medical Services to the towns of Danbury, Alexandria, and Hill by contract.
