Toronto EMS - Welcome

If you have recently used our services either as a patient, a caller, or as a family member or friend,
we would like you to take a short customer satisfaction survey.

Toronto Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provides emergency ambulance service to the City of Toronto. When somebody calls 911 for a medical emergency, Toronto EMS paramedics assess, treat, and transport the patient to a hospital emergency department. Toronto EMS is the largest municipal land ambulance service in Canada, and the sole emergency ambulance service in Toronto.

In Case of Emergency (ICE)

Sometimes emergencies occur in a public place where you may not know anyone. Sometimes you or a loved one may be unconscious and unable to communicate.

In an emergency situation, our paramedics treat you immediately based on your symptoms. But members of Police Services, hospital workers, and other emergency personnel may need to contact your next of kin in order to notify them of your circumstances or to obtain information about your medical history.
