PARAMEDIC SERVICES

The Village Fire Department is a volunteer department made up of 26 men and women that provide fire and ambulance services to Brewster and portions of the adjacent Sugar Creek and Tuscarawas Townships.   Early in 2006 the Village VFD undertook a program under which a paid Paramedic is provided seven days a week between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm to the Village and the Township service areas.  Once the Fire Income tax was approved by the voters, the hours have been expanded to have one Paramedic on station 24/7 until the hours were extended to two Paramedics on the weekends and holidays.  This allows the VFD to handle more efficiently the hours when a strictly volunteer operation is deficient of available manpower.  A good program, run by good people, that saves lives.

AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL PATIENT INFORMATION SHEET 

Area residents may want to fill out and place on their fridge, or another handy location, an EMS Patient Information Sheet.   This document provides vital patient information to EMS personnel that respond to a medical emergency.   This sheet will allow the Paramedic to know at a glance such information as the patient’s specific medical history, what medications the patient may be taking, what allergies the patient may have, and to be aware of any specific instructions from the patient’s Doctor.  This document may save your life.  Please download, print, and fill out this information sheet and display or have handy in case of such an emergency.  The form is located on our home page.
