As part of a state mandate, all towns within the Commonwealth are required to adopt an EMD program by July 1, 2012. Oxford has adopted the program from the Association of Public Safety Officials (APCO) to provide this service to town residents. Citizens, who call with an emergency medical complaint, will now have their calls answered by a highly trained and qualified Emergency Medical Dispatcher who will ask the caller several critical questions prior to dispatching the ambulance. Further, after dispatching the ambulance, the EMD will provide approved pre-arrival instructions thus rendering aid over the phone to help those in need. In addition to giving instructions for all types of medical problems and injuries, the EMD will use approved and tested instructions for helping citizens over the phone to provide CPR. While callers may feel that the questioning completed by the dispatcher is delaying care, the public needs to be aware that there is no substantial delay in the delivery of service and the answers provided will assist EMDs in sending the right kind of care. Feel free to contact either the Oxford Police Department (508-987-0156) or the Oxford Fire Department (508-987-6012) should you have any questions regarding this program. New Forestry 1 is now in service!
