Programs

Public education is an essential tool for the promotion of fire safety. The Department helps prepare you for fire and medical emergency situations through the following programs:

  • CPR classes offered by certified LSFD instructors
  • Paramedics on Bikes - instituted to handle medical emergencies on the Little Miami Bike Trail and at special events. Bikes are equipped with first aid supplies, oxygen, and heart monitors.
  • Pedi Med Program - operated in partnership with local schools and uses a database kept in LSFD emergency vehicles to ensure that children with special needs receive prompt care specific to their medical history both at school and home.
  • Senior Med Program - allows responding paramedics to review crucial information prior to their arrival on an emergency call involving senior citizens.
