COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY TRAINING

Every member of our paramedic team is first a Fullerton Firefighter. This dual-role ensures that our personnel can manage complex technical rescues and fire suppression while simultaneously providing Advanced Life Support (ALS).

We maintain a rigorous training partnership with Saddleback College to ensure our paramedics remain at the forefront of emergency medicine.

System of Care

On every 911 medical call, Fullerton residents receive a multi-tiered response designed for maximum efficiency:

  • ALS Engine: Minimum of two Firefighter/Paramedics for advanced-level treatment.
  • BLS Truck: Four Firefighter EMTs for rapid initial care and AED use.
  • Ambulance Transport: Coordinated response with our ambulance units for hospital transfer.

Unmatched Commitment

As the sole provider of emergency paramedic services in Fullerton, we treat every resident with dignity, respect, and compassion. Our team utilizes the most technologically advanced equipment available to provide world-class care directly in the field.
