CHARLOTTE RESCUE

​​

CVFRS Rescue is on duty year round, 24 hours a day, seven days a week and staffs a two-person paid crew licensed at the Paramedic, AEMT, and EMT certification level with additional support by volunteers with valid Vermont EMS licenses and/or NREMT certifications.  We respond to over 500 calls a year.

 

 

All responders are able to provide advanced life support care by  paramedics and Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs).  Charlotte Rescue began providing paramedic coverage in March 2011 delivering Charlotte residents with  the highest level of pre-hospital care available.

 

Licensure Level

  • Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) requires 200 hours of classroom and practical training for certification.  New national standards require EMT members to maintain 72 hours of training hours over a two year period to be eligible for re-certification every two years. 

  • Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs) requires an additional 104 classroom hours after the basic certification plus practical training as well as ongoing training for re-certification every two years.

  • Paramedics requires 1500 hours of classroom and practical training and required, targeted, ongoing training for re-certification every two years.

 

CVFRS is always looking for new faces and welcomes past members to assist us with our goal of providing emergency medical care, medical transportation and education to the community.  If you ever wondered about or had any interest in emergency medical care or driving an ambulance, we encourage you to stop by or call.
