Tactical Emergency Medical Services Team

The Fredericksburg Fire Department's Tactical Emergency Medical Service (TEMS) team provides medical support to the Fredericksburg Police Department's Special Equipment Tactical Team (SETT). The TEMS providers consist of three personnel called SETT Medic's. The primary mission of the SETT medic is to provide advanced emergency medical care in the field to officers or citizens injured or ill during high-risk incidents. The SETT medic also provides humanitarian medical assistance to civilian personnel who become injured or ill during an operation. In addition, the SETT medic conducts medical threat assessments for mission planning and functions as medical liaison with receiving facilities and transporting agencies.
