Every Ramsey Firefighter is cross - <br />trained in Emergency Medical Services. What does that <br />mean to you, a citizen phoning 911? <br />Time is essential to firefighting because flames can <br />rapidly spread through a building. Responding quickly to <br />a fire provides more time to rescue people inside and save <br />property by suppressing the blaze in the early stages. The <br />firefighter's ability to "get there fast" can also be used for <br />other types of emergency response, such as heart attacks, <br />strokes, and trauma. <br />Four minutes is a critical time frame for someone who <br />has experienced a heart attack, injury, or other illness that <br />makes them stop breathing. The heart and brain have a <br />better chance of full recovery if they receive oxygen in four <br />minutes or less. After that, a person can suffer brain damage <br />or worse. Our firefighters, many of them educated to the <br />level of EMT, can use life-saving techniques to help prevent <br />death or permanent injury. These life-saving techniques are <br />much more effective if they reach a patient within the first <br />four minutes. <br />When you dial 911 for a medical emergency, expect a <br />Ramsey fire truck. The expertise that they bring is truly <br />lifesaving. <br />CITY OF RAMSEY City UPDATE August 28, 2025 3 <br />
