The Newark Fire Department responds with the closest
apparatus to emergency medical calls. Due to the volume of emergency calls
received, a medic transport vehicle may be not be immediately available to
respond. All apparatus within the City are advanced life support vehicles
carrying at least one paramedic and having the capability of administering
advanced cardiac resuscitation medications. In some cases, a fire engine or
ladder truck may be closer to an emergency and respond in order to provide
emergency care as quickly as possible.
