Frequently Asked Questions

Fire stations are strategically deployed throughout the community to provide trained personnel on the scene of a fire or medical emergency within 5 minutes 90 percent of the time. Situations such as heart attacks require rapid medical intervention within the first 4-6 minutes to improve the chances of a successful outcome. Firefighters provide medical care prior to the arrival of Cabarrus County EMS and then assist paramedics until the patient is transported.
