Oak Hill Fire & Rescue is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) organization providing care at the EMT-Paramedic level. 
Presently, Oak Hill Fire & Rescue is the only fire department in Burke County providing this level of care to the citizens of it's community. With approximately 20 first responders on roster, Oak Hill Fire & Rescue strives to provide 24 hour medical coverage to the Oak Hill community, parts of the Pisgah National Forest, the visitors at the Brown Mountain ORV area, and even a section of the City of Morganton, including Freedom High School.

Oak Hill Fire & Rescue requires that each first responder complete at least the NC EMT-Basic course and become certified by the state to provide care at that level.  Members can further their pre-hospital education by completing the EMT-Intermediate and EMT-Paramedic courses if desired, all through the support of the fire department.
