EMS Operations
Understanding EMS in Logan City and Cache County

Logan Fire Department is one of two providers that make up Cache County Emergency Medical Services (CCEMS). CCEMS was created by a joining of Cache County medical resources into one cohesive EMS System. CCEMS ambulances are stationed in Logan, North Logan, Smithfield and Hyrum. As part of CCEMS, Logan Fire Department provides Paramedic Service to all of Cache County.
Many people ask why the Logan Fire Department responds with large pumpers on medical emergencies.


#2- Because we need to take the "fire station" with us to the call. Every day, simultaneous emergencies occur, which means that our personnel go directly from one emergency to the next without returning to the fire station. That second call may be a fire, extrication, or any number of other emergencies requiring a fire engine. Therefore, we must have the engine with us or hire additional personnel to be at the station. The increased maintenance costs for the fire engine are far less than additional personnel costs would be. Additionally, the fire engine crew can provide the same level of care at a medical emergency as the ambulance while another ambulance gets to the scene.
