Alaska Fire Medic Program

The Alaska Fire Medic Program (FMP) provides on-incident medical support to wildfires in Alaska. The State of Alaska Division of Forestry and the BLM Alaska Fire Service co-sponsor the program, which consists of specially-trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics and medical equipment designed to deliver high-quality medical care in remote and austere settings.
