About EMS Department
The goal of the NCFD EMS is to deliver to all who depend on our services a timely response with professional, highly skilled personnel to render effective Emergency Medical care. The department is staffed by twelve full-time Paramedics and eight part-time Paramedics, who responds to emergencies out of Station 2. There are typically either 4 or 5 personnel on duty at any given time. Most staff are crossed trained as firefighters. Additionally, Station 1, on Main Street, assists EMS when a third or possibly even fourth call is received, by responding in one of the two ambulances which are housed there.
