SACRAMENTO, CA - The Sacramento Fire Department has made an Emergency Treatment Form available for just about any citizen to be prepared in the event of a medical emergency.

The information sheet asks for medical history, medication allergies, hospital preference for transportation, and the telephone numbers and names of family members to be notified. It can help reduce treatment errors as well as hasten proper medical care.

The form is one page. The fire department urges residents to fill it out and put it on the refrigerator door where it provides emergency responders quick access to a victim's medical information and contact information.
