USAR Task Force 7

[edit]
Main article: Urban Search and Rescue California Task Force 7

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District is a member of California USAR Task Force 7 (CA TF-7), one of the eight FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces in the state.[4] These USAR Task Forces, which were originally designed to respond to structural collapse caused by earthquakes, have evolved to be used at disasters and catastrophes, both man-made and natural.[5] Along with members of the SMFD, the task force also has members from the Cosumnes Fire Department, Folsom Fire Department, Roseville Fire Department, West Sacramento Fire Department, El Dorado County Fire Protection District and Sacramento Fire Department.[5]

Some of the teams most notable deployments include the Northridge earthquake (1994), Oklahoma City bombing (1995), World Trade Center (2001) and Hurricane Katrina (2005).[5]

Metro Medic Program (MMP)

[edit]

In 2023, the Single Role Program (SRP) transitioned into the Metro Medic Program (MMP), catering to individuals interested in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) who prefer not to pursue a career in fire suppression as medics. Nevertheless, the MMP still serves as a valuable stepping stone for those aspiring to join the fire service as suppression members.

Metro Fire, in addition to its core firefighting force, employs Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics assigned to non-suppression ambulances to address the increasing demands of the communities it serves. Upon recruitment as a licensed EMT or Paramedic, individuals undergo training at the EMS academy, equipping them for a successful tenure at Metro Fire.

The Metro Fire EMS Academy delivers comprehensive instruction covering a spectrum of emergency response skills, encompassing essential and advanced EMS tasks, basic and advanced life support operations, multi-casualty incident operations, vehicle extrication, and other mandated proficiencies within the California and Sacramento County EMT and Paramedic Scope of Practices.

The academy curriculum integrates rigorous scenario-based training, drill ground exercises, and classroom sessions to hone the knowledge and skills requisite for executing EMS operations in diverse emergency scenarios such as medical incidents and motor vehicle accidents. Academy cadre not only impart essential skills but also instill Metro Fire’s core values of Integrity, Professionalism, Teamwork, and Devotion to Duty, shaping recruits into well-rounded EMS professionals.

Designed to foster the development of EMS professionals while providing exposure to the fire service, the MMP has facilitated the transition of over 190 EMS providers to fire suppression positions. Members of the MMP enjoy avenues for career advancement within the EMS field and opportunities to transition to Metro Fire's fire suppression academy.

For further information, individuals are encouraged to explore the Mentor Program, schedule a ride-along, or visit a Metro Fire Station.
