The Oak Bluffs Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department is dedicated to safeguarding our community through the preservation of life, property, and the environment. We strive to meet our challenges with compassion, professionalism, and integrity.
The Fire-EMS Chief, supported by the Deputy Chief and Assistant Chief, oversee all aspects of the department administratively and operationally. First and Second Lieutenants oversee daily operation, and scheduling of full and part time EMS staff. They are also responsible for oversight of EMS equipment and apparatus maintenance, transport coordination, medical billing and training.
Our volunteer fire personnel are comprised of 6 Captains, 11 Lieutenants, and 28 Firefighters. Our EMS personnel consist of 6 Full Time Paramedics, 4 Basic Emergency Medical Technicians, 8 Per Diem Paramedics, and 33 volunteer Basic Emergency Medical Technicians.
We are pleased to continue our service that represents a combined effort of career employees and volunteers who respond to emergency Fire and EMS incidents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Having a combination Fire and EMS Department has been a goal for some time. Although the two have always operated under the same roof, they remained segregated until 2014. Because both Firefighters and EMS staff continue to share the ultimate goal of safeguarding our community, we are extremely excited to have joined forces and work together as one full functioning department.
