What is the role of EMR personnel?

The role of Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) personnel primarily focuses on providing lifesaving care. This includes offering initial medical assistance to individuals who are experiencing medical emergencies, including but not limited to administering CPR, controlling bleeding, and ensuring the safety of the patient until more advanced medical professionals arrive. EMR personnel are often the first line of response in emergencies and are trained to stabilize patients and mitigate further risks, making their role crucial in emergency situations.

While conducting investigations, participating in community education, and maintaining equipment are important aspects of fire protection and safety, they are not the primary responsibilities of EMR personnel, who specialize in medical response rather than fire safety or equipment maintenance.
