First responder
A
first responder
is an employee of an
emergency service
who is likely to be among the first people to arrive at and assist at the scene of an emergency, such as an
accident
,
natural disaster
, or
terrorist attack
. First responders typically include
police officers
,
firefighters
,
paramedics
, and
emergency medical technicians
. A
Certified first responder
is one who has received certification to provide pre-hospital care in a certain jurisdiction: for example, the
Certified First Responder in France
. A
community first responder
is a person dispatched to attend medical emergencies until an ambulance arrives. A
Wilderness First Responder
is trained to provide pre-hospital care in remote settings, and will therefore have additional skills in ad hoc patient packaging and transport by non-motorized means.
