Regarding medical emergencies, Wall VFD currently has 4 EMTs and 4 Paramedics. Wall VFD is a recognized and licensed Emergency Medical Service (EMS) First Responder Organization (FRO) through TDSHS. Wall VFD operates under the Concho Valley Regional Advisory Council (CVRAC).
Wall VFD medical responders are certified to perform under the protocols at the EMR or EMT level as per their certification. Those certified as Paramedics are restricted to the EMT level of care until a San Angelo Fire Department (SAFD) ambulance arrives on the scene. At that time, they may assist the SAFD Paramedics as requested.
