Rowlett Fire Department has three ambulances staffed with paramedics who are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each ambulance carries the Texas Department of State Health Services provider license as a Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU). A Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU is an ambulance staffed by paramedics who provide advance life support. Paramedics units are sometimes referred to as "emergency rooms on wheels." Typical calls for service include heart attacks, strokes, sick calls, motor vehicle accidents, injured persons and poisonings. MICUs are also sent on all structure fire calls to provide medical support and critical fire fighter rehabilitation.

There are times when citizens may notice fire engines responding to calls with ambulances. Since our fire engines are staffed with paramedics, engines will sometimes be dispatched to emergency medical service calls to provide a quick response or to provide additional highly trained personnel, especially when a patient has a serious medical or traumatic incident requiring multiple critical tasks.
The exceptional level of service offered by the Rowlett Fire Rescue is rarely equaled. Our fire fighters/paramedics are dedicated to providing excellent service and are trained to a high level of proficiency.
