First Responders & Medical Aid
The Thetis Island Fire Dept. responds to all medical aid requests through the 9-1-1 system.  If you are unsure you require emergency aid and evacuation to the hospital, dial 8-1-1 to speak to the BC Health Link nurse for advice.  TIVFD personnel are trained, certified and Provincially licensed medical First Responders and we assess and evacuate you to the Community Dock in our Rescue Vehicle that is outfitted similarly to a BCEHS ambulance, where your care will be turned over to paramedics arriving on the marine ambulance.  Additionally, if you require helicopter evacuation we have a designated landing zone at Capernwray Harbour Bible School.  Our medical response service operates 24/7 when you state “ambulance” to the 9-1-1 operator.
