Wildland Fire Response
Paramedic Resource Group was initially founded to target the need for well trained EMS responders to deploy with Forest Service Fire Line teams. Our staff deploys across the U.S. to provide emergency medical care to the fire fighters who risk it all to keep us safe. Our team of dedicated providers treat, extricate, and evaluate the sick and injured to their full scope of practice. Providers work under medical direction to perform non-invasive life saving measures on the front lines of America's wildfire defense. Contracted through the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), PRG staff is at the ready and will deploy to areas in need. With strategic resource placements across the Western US and a top tier medical direction team of emergency physicians we are fully equipped for advanced life support calls.
Best Practice Medicine contracts with federal, state, tribal, and local authorities to provide highly trained and qualified EMTs, Paramedics, and other first responders to provide medical service on wildland fires. Our staff are all fire line certified operators with National EMS certifications and ICS training and arduous pack tested. Our team integrates with any incident management system, regardless of scale to provide the highest quality of care possible.
