Co-Responders
St Ives at 14/04/2017 06:38
During the early hours of this morning the Co-Responder crew from St Ives Community Fire Station have been assisting the Ambulance service by attending incidents and giving assistance and care to patients until the arrival of the Ambulance Service.
From 1 April 2015 until 1 December 2016, we have attended 1301 co-responder calls.
Firefighters from six Community Fire Stations in Cornwall help the community by not only providing fire cover but also act as a co-response resource in medical care, through partnership with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT). The scheme has been running since 1999, serving the communities of St. Keverne, St. Ives, Mullion, St. Mawes, Helston and Polruan.
