Rescue Department

Lincoln Rescue Service is committed to the delivery of excellent pre-hospital care, as well as protecting the safety and well-being of our public.

The EMS Service is charged with maintaining a state of readiness for emergency response, providing emergency and non-emergency response, providing aid to the public, and providing specific community services. The Town of Lincoln's Public Safety "System" is a collaborative effort between Lincoln Rescue, Lincoln Police, as well as the Limerock, Lincoln, Manville, and Quinnville fire districts, Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA), and any other appropriate local, state, or federal entity.

CPR/ CPR Training

According to the American Heart Association, approximately 80% of cardiac arrests occur at home and about 92% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before they reach the hospital. Getting help right away is crucial to survival. If more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. Statistics show that immediate CPR can more than double a victim’s chance of survival.

Bystander CPR and AED’s save lives!

Disaster Preparation

We cannot predict when disasters or emergencies will strike, but we can work to make sure that all Rhode Islanders are prepared. Ideally, everyone should be prepared and have emergency resources available in the event of a disaster. Being prepared may sound like an overwhelming task, but it doesn't have to be. Follow three steps to get started: Make a Kit, Make a Plan, and Stay Informed. For more information, please visit RIEMA.ri.gov

Code Red:
