Houston Fire Department Emergency Medical Services

Houston’s EMS is recognized worldwide as a leader in injury care. Scientific studies reveal that the innovative tech-niques and treatment strategies used by the Houston EMS personnel have provided Houstonians with an unrivaled survival rate for those with severe traumatic injuries. Today most of the clinical data regarding cardiac and trauma resuscitation come from the Houston EMS system. In the last decade, Houston EMS has presented more than 100 sci-entific papers at national and international meetings. Every paramedic and EMS physician in the city carries a portable 12-lead electrocardiograph. With this new technology, heart attack victims are more quickly diagnosed and treated faster. Houston is one of the first systems in the nation to have this technology available on its medic units. Houston has been cited by Fortune Magazine as one of the eight safest cities in the country to have a medical emergency. The City of Houston Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program is solely responsible by ordinance for all emergency med-ical calls received within the city limits. Access to EMS is facilitated by enhanced 9-1-1 systems, which relays medical calls from a central answering point (911 operator relays the call to Police/Fire/Ambulance dispatcher as indicated.)

HFD Emergency Medical Services locates ambulances around the city of Houston to allow a first responder or Basic Life Support on-scene in less than four minutes and Advanced Life Support on-scene in less than eight minutes on 90 percent of all calls. The city records an average of 7-10 minute total response time for all calls.
