About the Emergency Medical Services Program…
The EMS program is an initiative the US Forest Service (USFS) developed to facilitate prompt and professional Emergency Medical Service (EMS) care in the event of a medical emergency or injury on FS lands. This is especially true given the nature of land management agency work, where injuries and medical emergencies can happen far from hospitals, ambulance access, and other emergency services. The EMS program operate on FS directives 6900, and Field Manual 51 FM-51). FS units engaged under the program have the benefit of:
● Full use of our Program Management team in DC
● Full time medical advisement in DC under our FS based Medical Director
● Standardized training, credentialing, protocols, and policies
● Utilization of 1,000+ FS EMS team members, based in DC as well as throughout the US, for advice, lessons learned, and emergency response
