Jefferson County Dispatch will begin Emergency Medical Dispatching beginning June 1. This allows the dispatcher to gain additional information and provide critical information to the caller and responding agencies. Know that emergency services are dispatched quickly even if you are still on the line with the dispatcher.

EXCITING NEWS!!!! Jefferson County Launches EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH (EMD) on June 1st

We are thrilled to announce that Jefferson County will officially go live with Emergency Medical Dispatch starting June 1st! This important step will enhance our ability to provide timely, effective assistance in emergency medical situations. Join us in celebrating this milestone as we work together to keep our community safe and supported.

As part of the EMD process, the dispatcher may ask you a few more questions to better understand your emergency and ensure that you receive the appropriate help. Rest assured, these questions will not delay the arrival of assistance because help is sent immediately while you are on the line.

We appreciated the opportunity to welcome representatives from the Wisconsin EMS Association to the Watertown Fire Department today for a visit and tour of our facility.

During their time with us, they shared updates on current legislative topics impacting EMS across Wisconsin along with information on the many resources and services the association provides to support EMS professionals, agencies, and communities statewide.

We value the partnership and advocacy WEMSA continues to provide for EMS and fire-based EMS systems throughout Wisconsin. Thank you for taking the time to visit Watertown and for the continued work being done to support emergency responders and the patients we serve every day!
