ATTENTION...NEW FEES FOR SERVICE RATES WILL BE EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2024.

Emergency Medical Services account for 70-80% of all alarms in the fire service across the nation.  At Tahoe Douglas, we have risen to the challenge of providing top medical care to our customers in and around the Tahoe Basin and were the first agency in the region to provide a paramedic-level response in 1983.

 TDFPD staffs two paramedic ambulances that are centrally located within the district.  

These units are stationed at both the Round Hill and Zephyr Cove Fire Stations.  If needed, a third ambulance can be quickly staffed by on-duty personnel and be able to respond to incidents. This reserve ambulance is also used to rotate out other equipment for maintenance and to cover standby needs for concerts and other special events. 

The remaining two fire stations (Kingsbury and Glenbrook) have engine companies that are Nevada State Advanced Life Support (ALS) equipped.  Firefighters at these stations are trained to at the Advanced Life Support Level and many times advance their training to the highest EMS  level as a Paramedic.
