The Filer Quick Response Unit (QRU), holds a State Certification as an EMT-B level Emergency Response Unit. The EMS Division plays a crucial role in our district, being involved in over 50% of the emergency call-outs. The QRU operates within a significantly expansive response area covering 496 square miles, serving a population of nearly 10,000 residents. We respond promptly to various emergencies, including medical incidents, motor vehicle accidents, fires, and rescue situations, offering Basic Life Support (BLS) services. For Advanced Life Support (ALS) requirements, we collaborate with the experienced professionals of Magic Valley Paramedics.
Beyond emergency response, the QRU actively engages with the community through public relations initiatives, educational programs, and community events. Our goal is to foster a strong connection with the public we serve and promote safety and well-being within our district.
