🗄️ Local station database

Searches for France use AllFirefighter's local OpenStreetMap EMS station database. The current production snapshot contains 15,816 mapped OpenStreetMap EMS stations worldwide . This is a global OpenStreetMap database count, not a France station total. HIFLD supplemental records are used only for U.S. coverage. Database refreshed: September 12, 2026 . Station datasets may be incomplete or outdated and should not be treated as an official dispatch or service-availability directory.

EMS coverage in France

🚨 Emergency number: 15 or 112 — NOT a dispatch tool
🏥 EMS model: SAMU (physician-based) + SMUR hospital mobile care units + sapeurs-pompiers first response

France's emergency medical system is physician-led: SAMU (Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente) coordinates emergency medical response from hospital-based dispatch centers. SMUR (Structures Mobiles d'Urgence et de Réanimation) units carry emergency physicians to serious calls. Pompiers (fire service) provide first response. Private ambulance services handle inter-facility and scheduled transports. The médecin régulateur (SAMU physician) controls resource dispatch — a fundamentally different model from North American EMS.

Use Search area or type an address above to find mapped ambulance stations. OSM coverage varies by region — increase the radius in areas with sparse results.


How to use the EMS Locator

Enter an address or click My location to center the map. Choose a radius — 10 miles works for urban areas, 30–50 miles for rural. Click Search area. EMS stations appear as blue markers and as a nearest-first list in the sidebar. Click any result to fly the map to that station, or tap Directions to open Google Maps navigation directly to it.

Important: OpenStreetMap and HIFLD station records may be incomplete, outdated, or may represent facilities that do not provide the service you expect at all times. Verify station location, staffing, and service availability with the responsible agency for operational planning. This tool does not contact dispatch and should never be used to request emergency help.


Frequently asked questions

Click 'My location' to center the map on your GPS position, choose a search radius, and click 'Search area'. EMS stations appear as markers on the map and sorted nearest-first in the sidebar. You can also type any address to jump to a different location.

Worldwide station coverage uses OpenStreetMap (OSM). U.S. searches are supplemented with HIFLD EMS station data to improve coverage where dedicated ambulance stations are not mapped in OSM. Results are served from AllFirefighter's local station database, with external services used only as fallback where applicable.

This is a planning and familiarization aid, not a dispatch system. Always verify station location, current staffing, and service availability through your agency or official EMS directories before relying on this data for operational decisions.

Station datasets can be incomplete or out of date, especially in rural and remote areas. Try increasing the search radius and verify important locations with the responsible EMS agency or official directory.

It can. OpenStreetMap includes mapped private, hospital-based, municipal, fire-based, and volunteer EMS locations, while HIFLD supplements U.S. station coverage. Inclusion does not guarantee current staffing or service availability.

AllFirefighter serves EMS station searches from a local database that is refreshed on a scheduled basis. OpenStreetMap provides worldwide station coverage, while HIFLD supplements U.S. EMS station coverage. The most recent successful database refresh date is displayed on this page.
