Division of Fire

EMS

Welcome to the website of the City of Lakewood Fire-EMS. We hope the information you find here will be informative about our organization. We take pride in delivering professional service to our community in both fire suppression and emergency medical care.

In 1999, the Division of Fire expanded operations to include emergency medical response. This expanded service increased the number of EMS units available to the citizens of Lakewood. The service currently staffs 3 ALS ambulances one from each fire station and a BLS Engine responding from station 1. A fourth ambulance is fully equipped as backup. The expansion doubled the number of EMS units available.

The EMS staff includes 12 Paramedics that were hired from Lakewood hospital, 33 Firefighter Paramedics and 10 Emergency Medical Technicians. All Paramedics are ACLS and PALS certified.

EMS units responded to 5,399 calls in 2011.
