Emergency Medical Services

The Lannon Fire Department operates 2 ambulances to provide Emergency Medical Services inside the Village of Lannon and in the adjacent areas of Menomonee Falls. All EMS calls will have an ambulance sent to the location as well as another rescue vehicle. The second vehicle will be there to provide additional help as needed for the emergency. The minimal staffing of the Lannon Fire Department ambulances is a driver, an EMT, and an EMT IV Technician. Mutual Aid agreements with neighboring municipalities provide for additional ambulances and staffing as needed for incidents. The Town of Lisbon Fire Department can also provide emergency medical technicians trained to the higher level of EMT Intermediate.

Community Memorial Hospital is the primary destination for most patients, as it is within 10 minutes driving time of all locations that we cover; and, the majority of the population lives within a 5 minute transport time. We also will transport to other hospitals as requested by the patient or based upon the specific medical needs. The other hospitals that we transport regularly to are Elmbrook Hospital in Brookfield, Waukesha Memorial Hospital, and Childrens' Hospital of Milwaukee.

Major trauma and sever burn incidents can also be transported via Flight for Life, which is the air ambulance serving the area. Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee is the regional trauma center, and Columbia/St Mary's is the regional burn center

For pediatric emergencies, the Lannon Fire Department uses what is called the 'Cindy Bag' which is an Emergency Medical Services for Children jump bag that contains a color coded measuring tape that tells the EMTs which equipment and medications by matching the color codes. The Cindy Bag was a gift to the Lannon Fire Department from the Oconomowoc Junior Woman's Club
