EMTs are the basic prehospital healthcare providers. EMTs respond to a variety of emergencies and provide care to patients. EMTs are vital in our organization as the vast majority of our calls are medical. Members certified as EMTs also have the opportunity to attend additional courses to become certified as advanced care providers.
Positions in our department are very flexible as far as hours go. Members are encouraged to volunteer as many hours as they are comfortable with but we do not have minimum hours. All fire and rescue training is paid for entirely by the department including EMT, Firefighting, driver training, and any advanced level courses. The best thing about volunteer departments is that we do not require any level of prior experience and encourage members to become well educated in any area.
