Star of Life Symbol - EMS Medical Emergency Identifier #210313 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Star of Life, a six-pointed red star outlined in white, with the Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff-centered within.

Each point of the star represents a step in the EMS response chain: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care.
