It’s Time for Fun Fact Friday – EMS Week Edition!

During EMS Week, the Manchester Fire Department is proud to recognize your dedicated First Responders, EMTs, and Paramedics who provide compassionate, highly skilled emergency medical care to the community and neighboring towns whenever needed.

Your EMS professionals train regularly to ensure they are ready to respond on your worst day. Manchester Fire Paramedics provide advanced life support care, including:

  • Starting IVs
  • Administering life-saving medications
  • Cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, and cardioversion
  • Advanced airway management, including surgical airways when necessary

If the care alone doesn’t separate us from the rest, this will: during the last calendar year, Manchester Fire EMTs and Paramedics were at your side in an average of just 4 minutes and 22 seconds from dispatch.

Whether responding to medical emergencies, traumatic injuries, cardiac arrests, or assisting our mutual aid partners, our members remain committed to delivering professional, high-quality care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Please join us in honoring the First Responders, EMTs, and Paramedics of Manchester Fire, along with our partners at Manchester Police, who truly can be the difference between life and death.
