6 National Fire Protection Association Report of 3 7/27/2015 1:04 PM Public Comment No. 4-NFPA [ New Section after ] Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) An initial care level usually provided in rural communities by rural fire departments and a non-ambulance based care. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment EMR seems to be a forgotten, but important level of care provided in rural communities. Many rural fire departments cannot afford to provide "full" ambulance type service. In some areas ambulance response times can exceed 30 minutes. Although the EMR program is a Dept of Transportation course of study, it is an important level of initial care that should be recognized and addressed.
