Lincoln County Volunteer Fire and Rescue, since 2007 has operated an emergency medical responder program. As part of this program, each member spends 60 hours in a class room and hands on setting. In order to pass a state and national registry test, in order to receive a license to practice as an emergency medical responder in the state of Tennessee. This program is administered through the hospital ambulance service with medical oversight from a local doctor.

As and emergency medical responder, our goal is to provide a level of emergency care until the arrival of an ambulance. Each member must go through a re-certification process every two years, in order to keep their license.
