Journey to EMS

My journey to becoming an EMT begins here

  • CPR license

    CPR/BLS license earned with in-person training at the fire department. I’ve done this class several times in the past as a teacher, but it is exciting to note this first step down the path of my EMT journey.

  • Probationary EMT

    Accepted as a probationary member at the local fire department, with plans to train as an EMT upon full acceptance. This marks a significant step forward in training as well as a great opportunity for volunteering.

  • Initial application

    Initial meeting with local fire department assistant chief and fill out application to be considered by the board at the next meeting. Explained my interest in volunteering as an EMT.
