North Dakota Rescue Services
Voluntary Certification Program
Rescue Services are organizations that extricate patients from entrapment. The
most common form of extrication in North Dakota is the removal of injured
persons from automobile crashes. Most rescue services are located in fire
departments. There are no licensure laws pertaining to rescue services. The
State Health Department established the Voluntary Certification Program in
response to requests from providers to establish standards.
The program is organized into Light and Heavy certifications. The primary
difference between the two categories is the required minimum equipment.
Standards
- Availability: 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Staffing: Five personnel currently certified to a minimum level of
American Red Cross or National Safety Council Standard First Aid, CPR and
North Dakota Automobile Extrication
- Equipment: The equipment list is available upon
request from DEMST.
