Interested in learning CPR?
The Plano Fire Department and the City of Plano’s Parks and Recreation Department have collaborated and offer CPR classes for the public twice a month at the Oak Point Center located at 6000 Jupiter Road. For more information, call 972-941-7540 or visit this site: http://pdf.plano.gov/parks/catalog/QuickCourses.pdf
Why does the Department charge an ambulance transport fee to tax-paying citizens?
The Department charges $600 for residents of Plano and $700 for non-residents, plus $10 per mile from the emergency
scene to the medical facility. The patient's medical insurance will usually pay this fee which is set in accordance with
national ambulance standards. If we did not recover this from the people who use this service, this part of our operation
would have to be funded entirely with tax revenue resulting in greater taxes for all citizens.
