Some Information about First On Scene EMS
We are a top quality professional Event Medical Services company who provides onsite medical services throughout Northern California. First On Scene EMS was established in 2003 with a mission to provide medical services at all types of public events. A need for professional on site medical services was noticed and that need was filled. FOS started with me and a friend volunteering our time for a local Triathlon Series in Sacramento for Total Body Fitness. TBF conducts approximately 25 races a year. We would provide onsite services at the event for all the racers and if someone needed to go the Hospital then a call was placed to 911 and the local EMS provider transported them. Many sporting events do not have medical staff at the event and some locations are very rural. Response times within the city can be lengthy with the shutdown of many Fire Stations and cutting back of manpower. Response times can be ever greater in a rural setting. It is essential that someone with an illness or injury receive care as soon as possible to improve and shorten the recovery of those persons. That is where we come in......
FOS can provide for your event an assortment of resources. We have DOT certified EMTs on staff for all your event needs. We also have available two Ambulance style vehicles that can be used as event support units. These units can remain in place at your event to shelter patients from the elements and provide quality EMS care until a transporting unit arrives. FOS also has two Jeep Grand Cherokee 4 wheel drive vehicles capable of responding off road to almost any location to extract the sick and injured, and return them to the Finish line Medical Station or meet with an incoming transporting EMS unit.
In additional to those vehicles we also have a two person Quad runner. This Quad is able to pack the needed equipment and staff into those harder to reach locations to stabilize and treat a patient. FOS also can provide your event with Bike Medics, a less quick mode of response but very useful in situations such as Marathons, Fairs, and smaller Community Events. We also have available AEDs as part of our standard equipment.
So the next time you plan an event, don’t forget to include our Medical Staff as part of your event. Participants and spectators will feel much safer knowing qualified Emergency Medical Services Staff are on site and ready to respond at a moments notice!!
