Emergency Transport

Gorham Fire and EMS provides emergency transport to all residents and visitors who request it.  During the day, our primary ambulance is staffed with 1 Paramedic or Advanced EMT and 1 EMT at minumum.  This staff is supplemented by dedicated volunteers who staff the second ambulance for second calls and inter-facility transfers during the day, and staff the primary ambulance at night. We also provide mutual aid response and advanced life support intercepts to other communities and EMS agencies as requested. In an emergency, always dial 911!
