The Ponca City Ambulance Service is a function of the Ponca City Fire Department and is governed by its own set of regulations and training requirements.

Fire department personnel are cross-trained in the emergency medical services (EMS) to varying degrees of licensing, including Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) - in Basic, Intermediate, and Paramedic levels. These dedicated individuals are able to bring some of the more critical skills of the local emergency room into the field.

Technician Education
Emergency Medical Technicians receive continuing education year-round to maintain their certification. These classes are designed to keep personnel prepared to handle all aspects of an emergency medical call, including:

• Cardiac patient management
• Extrication
• Family pre-hospital care
• Scene safety

Providing Excellent Customer Service
Whether in responding to a motor vehicle collision or in transferring a loved one between facilities, ambulance personnel strive to provide the best customer service possible and to continue to find ways to improve emergency medical services.
