EMS Services

The Brownstown Fire Department provides the highest level of pre-hospital EMS services (Paramedic Level).  All department personnel from the Chief to the newest member are State of Michigan Licensed Paramedics.   Firefighter/paramedics have to continually train throughout the year on obtaining continuing education credits in order to renew their state licenses every 3 years.  In addition, they are required to maintain their CPR Professional level certification and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certifications every 2 years.


Brownstown Fire operates under the direction of the Wayne County Medical Control Authority,  Health Emergency Medical Services (HEMS).


Brownstown Fire uses the latest in EMS technology in providing EMS services to the community such as 12 lead EKG telemetry monitors, advanced video laryngoscopes for intubationand LUCAS automatic chest compression devices for CPR.


Operating under the direction and licensing of both the HEMS medical control and the State of Michigan,  Paramedic level services essentially bring the emergency room to your front door or to the scene of the accident, injury or illness.  Paramedics are permitted by protocols to preform many advanced medical techniques that are only found in the ER.  These advanced techniques have allowed for many field saves and/or quicker and more successful patient outcomes and recoveries.
