Bike Medic Team
In 2000 the Rogers Fire Dept. created the
Rogers Bike Medic Team at large
events, utilizing bicycles. The team rides five Cannondale
Mountain bikes that carry enough equipment to render care to
a serious cardiac patient for up to fifteen minutes. The
bikes also carry an array of basic medical supplies from
Band-Aids to bandages. The bikes are very useful in large
crowds where a traditional ambulance cannot maneuver through
the congestion. The Bike Medic is at the patient's side much
faster, affording the ambulance extra time so that it can
slowly and safely respond to the scene for transport to the
hospital. All members of the Bike Team are I.P.M.B.A.
Certified.
Some of the notable events that Bike Medics can be
found at are Frisco Festival, Rogers Mounties Football
Games, Parades, LPGA Tournaments, and Wal-Mart FLW Fishing Tournament. The
Bike Medic Team is not only an asset to EMS, but also serves
as a great public relations tool for the Fire Department.

Medic Team, please contact Cleve Clark
