Community Paramedic Program
A new Community Paramedic program in mid-February to address key health and safety needs across the community. The field of community paramedicine is a growing specialty across the U.S., designed to address health needs in a flexible way that will focus on proactive, preventative approaches to healthcare and mental health, while reducing unnecessary emergency room and 911 ambulance visits, for non-emergency medical services.  This program is the first of its kind in Montana and displays a cutting-edge service model.

All reserve staff are licensed EMTs while every full time member are licensed Paramedics with the majority achieving Critical Care Paramedic Licensure.

Fire Prevention Program
In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the 1st National Fire Prevention Week.  In the previous year nearly 15,000 lives were lost due to fire. "This waste results from the conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror, for the greater part of it could and ought to be prevented…it is highly desirable that every effort be made to reform conditions which have made possible so vast a destruction of the national wealth". 
Livingston Fire & Rescue has made a commitment to providing fire and safety education, working to reduce the risk of fire and the toll it takes on our community. During Fire Prevention Week, we instruct over 400 children grades preschool though 3rd grade. When requested, we will conduct fire and safety programs to all ages.
