The Fire Department operates three fully equipped paramedic ambulances to provide on scene treatment and transportation to local emergency departments.

The Fire Department ambulances are staffed by firefighter/paramedics 24 hours a day.

This practice assures that emergency medicine is delivered in a quick and efficient manner. Every effort has been made to assure timely and professional emergency medical services under any circumstance.

All 21 Fire Department employees are certified as Firefighters/Paramedics to help us attain our high standard of care.  We pride ourselves with holding dual certifications allowing us to serve as firefighters and paramedics to provide Sheffield Village with efficient and effective emergency services. 

We provide emergency transportation to the following hospital emergency rooms: Cleveland Clinic Avon, Mercy Health in Lorain, University Hospitals Elyria, and University Hospitals St. John Medical Center in Westlake. We will also consider transporting to other area hospital depending on the nature of the call.

It will take a firefighter 1½ years to be trained and certified as a paramedic in the State of Ohio. Once certified that firefighter/paramedic is required to obtain continuing education to maintain their State of Ohio paramedic certification.
