We are always looking for volunteers who are willing to provide emergency medical care.

All new members are required to obtain their certification as an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT) within one year of being accepted on the squad as a member. The EMT class is approximately 120 hours long and includes information on emergency medical care, semi-automated defibrillation, patient assessment, trauma care, and other subjects related to pre-hospital patient care. After a probation period, the squad will reimburse the member for the cost of the class.

Other levels of EMT which may be obtained as experience and time allows is the EMT-Intermediate level which covers advanced patient care and treatment, placement of intravenous lines, and in some cases limited medication administration.

The Paramedic level is the highest EMS level available. The course is intensive covering advanced patient assessment and treatment, use of advanced airway and other skills, and extensive medication administration.

All levels of EMT require continuing education and skills review. These classes are available in the area and the squad will help members with the cost of the classes.

If you think that you think that you are up to the challenge of becoming an Emergency Medical Technician, contact us for more information.
