Firefighting tactics and medical treatment methodolgies are constantly changing and improving. Moreover, community risk issues such as hazardous material releases and threats such as terrorism provide training challenges to the fire service. South Trail Fire Department has been operating as an advanced life support (ALS) paramedic agency since 1999. Our 38 paramedics and 39 EMTs work cooperatively with Lee County EMS to provide you with state-of-the-art emergency pre-hospital care.
