The Cedarburg Fire Department/Rescue Squad was formed in 1939 and was the first in Ozaukee County. Today the rescue company has over 45 dedicated volunteers led by a Rescue Captain and 2 Lieutenants. On every emergency medical call, we respond with an Advanced Life support (ALS) crew comprised of an EMT-Intermediate Technician, EMT-Basic and a driver.

Our crews respond to over 600 medical emergency calls per year and log over 1000 combined hours of training annually. We provide service to over 16,000 residents of the City and Town of Cedarburg, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

All EMTs are licensed by the State of Wisconsin and operate under the specific protocols authorized by the Medical Director for Ozaukee County.

EMT-Basic personnel are trained in Basic Life Support including administration of Albuterol, Duo-Nebs, Glucagon, Nitroglycerine and Epinephrine.

EMT-Intermediate Technicians are trained in Advanced Life Support including administration of intravenous medicines such as Normal Saline Solution, Dextrose, Aspirin and Narcan.

Recently all members have been trained in 12 lead EKG's for patients suspected of having cardiac related chest pain and C-PAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for our patients having severe difficulty breathing.

Cedarburg Rescue Company is always on the cutting edge of keeping up with technology. On all of our ambulances, we carry a carbon monoxide reading device called a RAD-57. This is a non-evasive tool to detect carbon monoxide poisoning in our patients.
