EMTs are the basic prehospital healthcare providers. EMTs respond to a variety of emergencies and provide basic emergency medical care to patients until arriving at the emergency room. EMTs are vital as the 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.
EMT positions at Castleton are very flexible. Members are encouraged to volunteer as many hours as they are comfortable but no minimum hours are required. All fire and rescue training is paid for entirely by Castleton Volunteer Fire Company including EMT, Firefighting, driver training, and any advanced level courses. Volunteer fire departments do not require any level of prior experience and we encourage members to become well educated in any area.
