title: [Nurses and health officers supporting the emergency operations command].
abstract: The health and medical emergency service of a departmental fire and rescue unit is a key element of emergency care in France. Health officers are present in the operations room or in the field. Often a nurse from the fire service, they may also be a doctor or pharmacist. Their mission is to optimise and to anticipate the emergency healthcare response both on a day-to-day basis as well as with extraordinary events involving numerous victims or large-scale technological, natural or terror risks.
