Emergency - Call 999
Non-Emergency - Call 111

Welsh Ambulance Community Welfare, Community First Responders and Enhanced Community First Responders.

When a patient faces a serious emergency, every second counts for them and a simple helping hand from a Community First Responder can make a vital difference to their lives. First Responders in Wales are volunteers who donate their spare time to attend appropriate 999 calls and provide first hand emergency care to people in their own community. When a 999 call is made, First Responders are alerted by WAST‘s three control centres and are sent to 700+ certain types of calls the same time as an ambulance so they can provide essential care until the vehicle reaches the scene. Our volunteers are trained by the Welsh Ambulance Service to administer basic first aid skills, oxygen therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of a defibrillator.

As families and communities across Wales prepare to celebrate, we're urging everyone to enjoy Bonfire Night safely and responsibly.

Last Bonfire Night, our teams handled 1,143 emergency 999 calls and 1,748 NHS 111 Wales calls in just 24 hours. If you're celebrating, choose organised displays where possible, follow firework safety advice, and know what to do if a burn occurs: cool it under running water for 20 minutes and seek help if needed.

Please also remember to treat emergency workers with respect as they respond to incidents across Wales.

Let's make this Bonfire Night memorable for the right reasons. Stay safe, look out for one another, and help keep emergency services available for those who need them most.

Stay safe this Halloween! Only knock on decorated, welcoming doors and be careful in dark spaces and near dark properties - slips, trips and falls are common in densely lit areas. We will be out and about today supporting Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust 🥰💚
