The Emergency Medical Services Division of the Sni Valley Fire Protection District is on the forefront of the ever-changing emergency medical field. Sni Valley believes in providing the best possible medical care. We are constantly upgrading our medical guidelines, which we must follow in the field and continued training for our Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).
Sni Valley has two Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances, one ALS Engine and one ALS staff vehicle. Our ALS Engine can provide the same treatment as our ambulances except for transportation to a hospital. Thus, if both of our ambulances are transporting patients, Sni Valley can still provide ALS treatment to the patrons of the District while a mutual aid ambulance is en route to transport the patient.
Since 1994, when Sni Valley started providing the Emergency Medical Service, in 2005 Sni Valley purchased three new heart monitors, which have the capability of AED (Automatic External Defibrillation). This means if there was no Paramedic on the Engine’s staffing, the EMTs could provide life saving electrical shocks while the Paramedics on board the ambulance are en route. In 2005 we purchased a new 2005 Ford F-450 Type 1 ambulance and in 2006 we purchased another F-450 Type 1 ambulance. These new ambulances replaced our old ambulances.
As of January 2004, Sni Valley brought on board Dr. Ameet Deshmukh as our Medical Director. Dr. Ameet Deshmukh, oversees the entire EMS Division of the Fire District and approves our equipment, medications and Medical Guidelines.
Remember that we are here to help you in the event of an emergency. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning our medical services.
We have recently purchased the following items from our Assistance to Firefighter’s grant we received.
