During my three seasons as a temporary I was exposed to opportunities that promoted education in leadership, suppression, and engine operation skills. Over the course of this time we had approximately 30 fires that the engine responded to both on the district and off forest assignments. Some of the roles I took were firefighter type 1 and 2, incident commander type 5, engine operator, and a prescribed fire burn boss type 3. I was also awarded two spot cash awards during my first year for most improved and rookie of the year.

There are many different things that Emergency Medical Technicians do while on the job, there are also very many levels to being an Emergency Medical Technicians.
The Mercy Flights Explorer Post is the career education part of Boy Scouts of America. I have been part of the post for 2 years and was elected as ambulance operation making me responsible for maintaining and restocking the ambulance that Mercy Flights donated to the post. Within my 2 years I have done eight twelve hour shift ride alongs on the ambulance assisting the paramedic and EMT with patients as we transport them to the hospital ranging from sprained ankles to heart attacks. A big part of what the post does is attend community events where we provide first aid to
In 1957 the National Association of Fire Chiefs made the recommendation to use a single number to report fires within a community. Approximately 10 years later in 1967 the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice made the same recommendation that a single number should be used to report all emergency situations and it should be used across the entire nation. This recommendations were made because prior to the 911 system citizens in communities across the country were forced to dial a specific seven digit number in order to reach the providers of fire and law enforcement services within their communities to report an emergency. Then following, these recommendations
A key leader needs to attend a train-the trainer event. These events have proven to be an effective method for getting effective training done at the local level (Thomas & Carruth, 2015). This person should be in a full-time leadership position in safety services to ensure availability to receive and pass along the training in a timely fashion.
One of the main reasons I want to join Gwinnett County Fire and emergency service is because in 2011, Gwinnett county was granted accreditation for the paramedics training program by the Medical Service Professions, making it the first county in Georgia to have it’s own accredited training program. I hereby understand that if I complete the paramedics program
The duty of every firefighter is to provide the best service possible to the people they protect and serve. No one can deny this. A good firefighter attempts to be better every day whether they are on or off shift. Bettering yourself can be accomplished through training, conditioning, and education. It is our responsibility to uphold those standards for all the people who rely on us every day. Obtaining a paramedic license allows one to help others in a way they were unable to do so before. This is my goal; to increase my knowledge, my skills, and the tools available to better help the public of Montpelier.
I also promote information and knowledge sharing to keep the team’s skill level high. · Current Senior First Aid Certificate or willingness to obtain in first three (3) months of employment Current Driver Licence.

I am purposing this training to be held for both the Poplar Bluff Police Department and the Poplar Bluff Fire Department since it is recommended for all first responders. I believe this training will benefit department staff both mentally and physically. I believe the training should be required for All Employees to attend.
We are the most technically advanced nation in the free world but yet we have not been able to reduce the number of firefighter fatalities over the years. Its one of the great mysteries of the world today. Our gear is better than what they wore thirty years ago, its better than what they wore ten years ago and we still lose an average of one hundred firefighters every year. I know that not all are dying in structure fires but just one is one too many.
When I was eight I fractured my skull and got a severe concussion, and when I was fifteen, I was involved in a very serious four wheeling accident and fractured multiple bones, got a collapsed lung, and another concussion. I almost died twice, and really should have died twice, but both times first responders arrived on the scene very quickly to save my life. I am grateful for the experienced professionals that had the skills and knowledge they needed in order to save me, and to pay it back, I decided I wanted to become a Paramedic. However, when I was researching how to become a paramedic and other information about their job, I came across the sad fact that EMT’s only make, on average, 31,000 dollars a year. I am sure it is hard to live a comfortable life and provide for a family on a salary of less than fifteen dollars per hour, and the fact that they make this little of an amount of money is unacceptable. EMT-paramedics need to make way more money than they do, because their job is dangerous, it requires a lot of skills and knowledge, and they save multiple lives each and every day.
Working at horizons we have a lot of trainings that we do. When we start there are a number of trainings that we have to do before we started working at the main facility we will be employed at. We take a few days before we start at the group home or facility to finish these. When we do these trainings we sit in a room and watch PowerPoints or videos and then we take a test over them and have to score an eighty percent or higher to move to the next PowerPoint. We then have to get CPR and first aid certified. Every couple of years we have to get re certified for both CPR and first aid.

The EOC is highly secure and set up to accommodate an adequate amount of emergency response personnel and EOC staff (room capacity is 60 people) (Lavelle, 2016). These dedicated operations rooms can also serve as multi-use space and can be consolidated or expanded depending on operational needs (Lavelle, 2016). Recently, the EOC received several upgrades to its monitoring systems and in technical equipment, including a more expansive phoning system, new televisions and computers (Lavelle, 2016). The EOC also has smaller conference rooms, which are physically separate from the primary operations room and is set up to not interfere with ongoing operations (Lavelle, 2016).
