The Spokane Valley Fire Department (SVFD) will provide on-site emergency medical services for some home Spokane Indians games this season. SVFD and the Spokane Indians Baseball Club entered into the agreement for the 2026 season, beginning April 3. SVFD will staff Spokane Indians home games with trained emergency medical personnel to provide immediate care in the event of a medical emergency.

“We’re proud to partner with the Spokane Indians to help keep fans safe while they enjoy one of our community’s favorite summer traditions,” said SVFD Chief Frank Soto Jr. “Having trained EMS personnel on site allows for a quick response if someone needs medical attention.”

At least two EMS providers will be on site for each game, arriving prior to the first pitch and remaining after the game to ensure coverage for fans, players, and staff. The partnership is designed to enhance safety at Avista Stadium during Indians home games and other designated events, SVFD said. EMS staff will respond to medical incidents, assess emergency situations, and coordinate additional resources if needed.

“We’re thrilled to partner with SVFD again to provide first aid and medical services at select Spokane Indians games. Their experienced first responders ensure our fans and team members are in good hands at Avista Stadium,” said Spokane Indians President Chris Duff.
