Lowell Fire Department

Rescue & EMS Services

All members are trained to the Massachusetts first responder level to provide emergency care to the citizens, employees and tourists in the City of Lowell. The fire department responds to approximately 5,500 calls for medical help yearly.

The goal is to provide timely emergency medical care to correct life threatening problems, limit the severity, and reduce rehabilitation time so the person is back to a normal life style as soon as possible. We are also striving to make Lowell the safest place to have a medical problem in the Merrimack Valley.

To accomplish this goal, training is ongoing for CPR, Emergency Care, Semi-automatic Defibrillation and Rescue Techniques. Most of this training is scheduled on a quarterly basis for all members.

One Hundred Ten Members of the department have taken their first responder level of training to the Emergency Medical Technician level. Most of these members have taken advantage of a department sponsored EMT course held at the Oakland Training Center. The course is conducted two mornings a week for four months.
