Which fire department is part of the Orange County EMS System?

• A. Orlando Fire Department
• B. Orange County Fire Rescue
• C. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue
• D. Los Angeles Fire Department

Answer: (A)

Understanding how county EMS systems are organized helps here. In Orange County, Florida, the EMS system is operated by the county’s own fire rescue agency, Orange County Fire Rescue. This county-level agency provides EMS services for the whole county rather than relying on a city department. The Orlando Fire Department serves the city of Orlando and runs its own EMS within the city, separate from the county system. The other two departments are in different regions: Miami-Dade Fire Rescue operates in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Los Angeles Fire Department serves the City of Los Angeles in California. So the department that is part of the Orange County EMS System is Orange County Fire Rescue.
