As EMS Week comes to a close, the Arlington Heights Fire Department would like to thank all of our firefighter/paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, hospital partners, and healthcare professionals who work together every day to provide emergency medical care to our community.
Emergency medical services are a critical part of the fire service and often represent some of the most challenging and meaningful calls we respond to. From medical emergencies and traumatic injuries to cardiac arrests and critical patient care, our crews are committed to providing compassionate, professional, and advanced care whenever our community calls for help.
In 2025 alone, AHFD responded to 8,993 EMS incidents as part of our 11,641 total calls for service. Behind every one of those calls is a team of highly trained professionals dedicated to helping others on what may be one of the worst days of their lives.
Thank you to our residents for your continued trust and support, and thank you to all EMS providers for your dedication to serving others.
