CFA brigades and Emergency Medical Response (EMR)
Channel: CFA (Country Fire Authority)

Did you know a growing number of CFA brigades also perform Emergency Medical Response (EMR)?
This means we co-respond with Ambulance Victoria​ to life threatening medical emergencies  – often where the patient is not conscious or not breathing.
If firefighters are first on scene, they commence medical treatment until paramedics arrive with advanced equipment and the patient is handed over.
CFA -  more than bushfires.
