Emergency Medical Services

Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provide essential out-of-hospital medical care to people experiencing illnesses or injuries that require urgent attention. Services include emergency assessment and treatment, stabilization, and transportation to a hospital emergency department or other appropriate medical facility.

The Poulsbo Fire Department’s EMS program is dedicated to delivering high-quality, compassionate medical care to our community. Our goal is to assess each patient’s condition, provide timely and effective treatment, stabilize patients to the extent possible, and ensure safe transport to the appropriate level of care.

Poulsbo Fire Department provides emergency medical response and patient transportation throughout our service area at both Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) levels. Our highly trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and paramedics deliver professional, patient-centered care, bringing critical medical expertise directly to those in need.

Our EMS providers operate under the medical direction of Dr. Joe Hoffman, Kitsap County’s Medical Program Director, helping ensure our care meets established medical standards and supports the best possible outcomes for our patients.
