The Dayton Fire Department uses what is generally referred to as a First Responder system. This means based on what the caller tells the dispatcher about the condition of the person requiring medical attention, they may require immediate medical care. An engine or ladder is dispatched in addition to a medic unit because they may be closer than the responding medic and can begin providing medical intervention upon arrival. In addition many serious medical calls will require more people to provide the level of care necessary to stabilize the patient’s condition and provide transportation to an emergency room.Fire Department
