Seen here is one of the compartments in which the GFD stores its medical equipment. There is a variety of supplies at the disposal of the fire department. Some personnel attend EMT courses and are certified, which aids in the response to various calls, involving but not limited to: car wrecks, assisting the elderly, the disabled and structure fire responses. Whether or not a firefighter enrolls in EMT classes, they are trained in 1st responder duties. They are instructed in the proper CPR procedures as well as how to operate an AED (automatic external defibulator). Engine 7 and Engine 8 are the two trucks from both stations that are designated to respond to all vehicle accidents. They are the primary trucks assigned to this duty, but may require the aid of another truck.
