EMS First Responder Membership

An EMS first responder applicant will need to fulfill the application requirements by the Central Lyon County Fire District. An EMS applicant will then need to attend 40 hours of introductory level training to become eligible for membership. To become an EMS first responder this training must include at least 20 hours entry level firefighting and 20 hours first responder medical training.

Any applicant seeking only EMS first responder status may attend medical and rescue emergencies, as well as attend fire emergencies but as medical standby only. An applicant in probationary status may become eligible to run calls after the first 24 hours of training. All time spent working emergencies will be counted toward training hours.

Upon completion of the 40 hours of training and the minimum time requirement, the EMS first responder applicant in probationary status becomes eligible for membership. The membership may approve applicant as a member by majority vote. Upon this approval, the applicant becomes an EMS first responder and official member of the SCVFD.
