First Responders

The Green Lake/Brooklyn First Responders (GLBFR) operates as an emergency Medical First Responder Service Provider under a State of Wisconsin License/certificate (#6050115). We have 6 members, individually licensed/certified as emergency Medical Responders (EMR) by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services. They volunteer to help provide pre-hospital care for 911 dispatched medical emergencies (including vehicle accidents) in the City of Green Lake and Town of Brooklyn, as well as part of the Town of Green Lake.

During 911 medical emergencies, we work with ambulance services (Berlin Emergency Medical Service and Southern Green Lake County Ambulance Service) and rescue crews (Green Lake Fire & Rescue) as well as law enforcement (Green Lake County sheriff’s Office and the City of Green Lake Police Department).

Training is an on-going process and individual and provider service license/certificates need to be renewed every two years. The EMR renewal requires an 18-hour course plus CPR renewal training. EMR business and training meetings are held monthly. EMR conducts training in conjunction with ambulance services, law enforcement, and a trauma hospital in addition to attending an annual EMS Training Conference.

GLBR responds to approximately 200 calls per year and are available day and night, every day of the year. This service is funded jointly by the City of Green Lake and the Town of Brooklyn.
