Emergency Medical Services

We take a very proactive role in EMS response. At a minimum, each operational member of the Fire Department is licensed by the State of Kansas as an Emergency Medical Technician. To qualify as a Lenexa Fire Medic, our firefighters must be licensed as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician or Mobile Intensive Care Technician (Paramedic).  

We respond to all EMS calls in the city in a first response model up to the Advanced Life Support level. At a minimum, every medical call will receive a squad rescue unit or a fire apparatus, depending on what is currently closest to the call location.

The county-wide ambulance service, Johnson County Med-Act, is then used as the transport agency if hospitalization is required.
