EMT’s
An EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) is trained to quickly respond to emergency situations. These situations include medical issues, traumatic injuries and accident scenes.
Power County Emergency Medical Services is located in American Falls, Idaho. We are an ILS agency, working on obtaining an ALS license. Power County EMS has approximately 40 EMT’s who work very hard to help the citizens of the community when they are in need. Their are EMT’s on call 24/7, in which they respond to approximately 700 calls a year.
In addition to responding to EMS calls the EMT’s are obligated to continue education and practice scenario situations, in order to maintain their skills. Basic EMT’s are required to obtain 140 hours of training and pass both the written and practical portions of the National EMT-Basic Exam. Advanced EMT’s are required to obtain 250 hours of training and pass the written and practical portions of the National EMT-Advanced Exam.

The star of life is the universal symbol for Emergency Medical Services. The six branches of the star are symbols of the main tasks accomplished by rescuers.
- Detection: The first rescuers on the scene observe the scene, understand the problem, identify the dangers and take appropriate measures to ensure safety on the scene.
- Reporting: Professional help is called for, dispatch is connected with the victims, providing emergency medical dispatch.
- Response: The first rescuers administer first aid and immediate care to the best of their abilities.
- On scene care: The EMS personnel arrive and provide immediate care to the extent of their capabilities on-scene.
