Eagle Fire Department

Recruit Academy 26-1 Week 7
Here at EFD we require our firefighters to maintain an EMT, Advanced EMT or Paramedic license. At the EMT level, our firefighters are able to perform more advanced skills through our optional modules. They require anywhere from 36-72 hours every two years to maintain their license to provide you with exceptional care.

LIFE SAVING AWARD
Last week, Eagle Fire Engine 43 crew along with Ada County Medic 26 were recognized for saving a patient’s life in late February during a medical emergency. Thanks to the quick actions and coordinated efforts of all responding crews, the patient is alive and doing well today. We are proud to serve you!

INCIDENT
Eagle Fire crews responded to a 4-wheeler accident in the foothills alongside Ada County Paramedics and Life Flight. Crews arrived to find the patient conscious and alert with lower leg injuries. The patient was treated on scene and transported by air to Saint Alphonsus for further care.
As foothills recreation activity increases, please remember a few important safety tips before heading out:
• Always wear a helmet and proper protective gear
• Ride within your skill level and avoid excessive speeds
• Let someone know where you’re going and when you plan to return
• Carry water, a charged phone/GPS, and basic first aid supplies
• Be aware of trail conditions and changing weather
Stay safe and enjoy the foothills responsibly.

INCIDENT
Eagle Fire Department along with Ada County Paramedics responded with Life Flights air ambulance to help a female that fell from a horse. Ada County dispatchers worked diligently to provide responding units with a patient location. This proved to expedite response time, and the patient was transported via air ambulance to definitive care. Excellent teamwork!
