FIRE-BASED EMS
EMS: Under Fire

“Fire-based EMS is – and will continue to be – the most efficient and effective system for responding to medical emergencies and improving overall public safety. The IAFF is engaged at all levels of government to assure that appropriately trained and equipped personnel are available to respond to all types of emergencies.”

Harold A. Schaitberger
General President

The 9th Biennial Dominick F. Barbera EMS Conference will explore all aspects of fire-based emergency medical services. Participants choose from among more than 20 workshops offered throughout the three-day program, as well as hear from inspirational speakers during the opening and closing plenary sessions.
