Tremont Rescue is primarily a BLS (Basic Life Support), however we have options for obtaining Advanced Life Support treatment options when necessary. Tremont Rescue in collaboration with the Peoria Area EMS office has been working to bring a higher level of care to the community and the people we serve in this Emergency Medical capacity. Illinois Department of Public Health has passed legislation to allow for rural rescue agencies with members who work professionally in the pre-hospital medical setting to operate at their licensure level. Advanced level of care includes a greater scope of practice of interventions and medications. These include starting IV's and fluids, intubation for securing a potentially compromised airway, advanced cardiac care, trauma care, pain management, and other advanced interventions.
