Rescue & EMS Division

The Rescue & EMS Division is charged with emergency rescue, ambulance, and first responder medical services for the injured and ill of Franklin.

This division’s apparatus consists of two ambulances, one heavy rescue truck, and one boat.  We currently have three Emergency Medical Technicians-Paramedics (EMT-P) on staff. 

This level of care can increase an individual’s chances of survival in a life threatening injury/illness by bringing additional life saving treatment options into the field for pre-hospital delivery.  The department has also been gearing up to add to its technical rescue capabilities.

Through the generosity of the Raymond & Betty Turcotte Memorial Rescue Squad Trust Fund (donation of an estate) we have begun an ambitious program to increase our training and equipment to provide additional capabilities in the following rescue disciplines: swiftwater/ice, confined space, above/below grades, building collapse/trench, industrial/farm/unusual vehicle.
