Emergency Medical Services Bureau

     The Hazelwood Fire Department provides its residents advanced life support services in their fire trucks. Accordingly, the fire department has elevated its minimum educational standard for new employees to include State licensing as a paramedic. The department now maintains paramedics and equipment on each fire truck. We continue to contract ambulance service from an outside agency and stations one of those ambulances in a Hazelwood fire station. We are proud to be able to provide advanced life support expertise and equipment on trucks that often arrive prior to an ambulance that may be traveling some distance to get to the emergency.
