When the Fire Department responds to a medical emergency, we may not be able to get all of the patients medical history that we need. The patient may be unable to tell us, and or there may not be a family member or friend there to give us vital information needed to help treat the patient.

This no longer has to happen. With the use of 911 and a dispatcher, a patients medical information can be given to the EMT's before they arrive at the scene. This can only happen if Orange Village residents provide the Fire Department with medical information before an emergency happens.

The Fire Department recommends residents with unusual or numerous medical conditions, or residents that live alone, contact the Fire Department at 498-4402. Please leave your name and phone number, and a member of the fire department will return your call. All information will be kept strictly confidential.

In a medical emergency the Fire Department may have trouble gaining access to a residence. Residents who are elderly, living alone or disabled can register for the Knox Box program.
