Emergency Medical Services

All Lake Oswego firefighters maintain State certification as emergency medical technicians. Currently, 21 maintain certification as paramedics and provide the highest levels of pre-hospital emergency advanced life support. The remaining personnel maintain certification as EMT-Basics or EMT-Intermediates to complete our EMS service delivery system. All four fire stations are capable of delivering paramedic level EMS utilizing the same front line response vehicles as for fire suppression. In addition, Lake Oswego Fire is a State licensed ambulance provider and we maintain a medic/rescue unit that is a State licensed ambulance.
