The EMS division is made up of approximately 30 volunteer members.  The main responsibility of these members is to run on the departments two (2) Ambulances.  All members must be trained to the EMT-D or MRT-D level.  The Somers Fire Department EMS Division is certified to the EMT-D level of care. This level allows the EMT's and MRT's to provide basic level care which includes CPR with defibrillator, airway management with oxygen, bleeding control, and fracture management.  On many occasions other personnel are needed to offer the best level of care for all our patients, so we use emergency medical technicians at the paramedic level. These personnel are mostly from the Ambulance Service of Manchester (ASM), American Medical Response (AMR), and East Windsor Ambulance services. This level of care is able to provide intravenous medications and EKG monitoring.

If you are interested in becoming an EMT or MRT please feel free to contact anyone at the fire station.  The EMT class is 130 hours and the MRT class runs 50 hours.  Both classes are held at the fire house, Johnson Memorial Hospital and Asnuntuck Community College among other sites. Please contact Captain William Meier III for more information.

Meetings are held on the 3^rd Sunday and Training sessions are held on the 4^th Sunday of every month.

Members are required to run 42 hours a month of which 12 need to be ran on the weekend.
