EMS
The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District has provided Paramedic Advanced Life Support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since 1998. CSFD Paramedic/Firefighters are currently assigned between the two stations to initiate patient care prior to the arrival of the local transporting ambulance company. 
The District recently purchased a new rescue vehicle that gives Paramedics the ability to respond to medical emergencies faster and carry more specialized equipment for better patient care. Our Paramedic program has proved to be extremely successful with many lives being saved.
The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District would like you to know that we participate in the Vial of L.I.F.E.program. The Vial of L.I.F.E is Lifesaving Information For Emergencies. The Vial of L.I.F.E. kit is a small plastic container that holds your vital medical information and is stored on your refrigerator. It is a program that is designed for people with special medical concerns such as, heart conditions, prior stroke, seizures, and respiratory conditions. This is also for people who may have a serious allergy to any medications or have any other life threatening allergies. In an emergency every minute counts. Allergies, medications and medical conditions can all have deadly consequences.
