Fire Department Medical Services

The Duncanville Fire Department is staffed by twenty-four functional Paramedics with thirty-eight Paramedics total. The rest of the firefighters are certified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's).

All emergency medical services personnel are trained by the University of Texas Southwest Medical Center in Dallas. They receive their emergency medical control from the BIOTEL system which is linked with Parkland Hospital in Dallas. BIOTEL gives the Paramedics direction in their emergency medical services.

All ambulances are certified as Mobile Intensive Care Units and carry the latest in MICU equipment. All this is done in order to provide the most advanced life support services to the citizens of Duncanville.
