Athens-Clarke County Fire & Emergency Services was recently issued a Medical First Responder Service License by the Georgia Department of Public Health. This license will allow trained firefighters to provide care to the citizens of Athens-Clarke County while waiting for the contracted ambulance service to arrive on the scene of life threatening medical emergencies.
The collaborative efforts of Athens-Clarke County Fire and Emergency Services, Athens-Clark County Manager’s Office, mayor and Board of Commissioners, along with Department of Public Health EMS Region 10, resulted in reaching this goal for the community.
