CITY OF BROOKFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT PREPAREDNESS OVER TIME Looking back, our department was staffed primarily by Firefighters/EMTs trained to provide Basic Life Support (BLS). However, over time, our department has transitioned into one that provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) as well because of having more trained Paramedics on staff. Since 1996, we have had 43 people serve as paramedics. Historically: In 1985, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), became part of the Fire Department. Ten years later, in 1995, nine department FF/EMTs completed 22 weeks of intensive paramedic training. 1996 was the first year of paramedicstaffed ambulance service. 12
