Community Special Event Medical Support


EMS Bike Team At The State FairWake County EMS provides comprehensive support for the numerous large public gatherings that take place in our jurisdiction every year. For each event, a comprehensive assessment is conducted, in cooperation with law enforcement and fire authorities, and an Incident Action Plan is developed. That plan may include on-site EMS units, an EMS incident management team, EMS foot patrols, EMS cyclists, all-terrain vehicles or other resources, as appropriate. The North Carolina State Fair, which brings more than 100,000 people per day to Raleigh for a nine-day period each October, provides an annual opportunity to exercise our full spectrum of special events medical support capabilities.
