When you think of your local fire department and the services they provide you may not think of education. At Thornapple Fire Department we offer EMR snd EMT education. In fact, we just completed an initial education mixed class for EMR and EMT education. Class wrapped up this past Monday with the entire class passing their practical stations. Way to go everyone!!!
After passing the class, these future providers are required to take a “National Registry” exam, and if they pass that, they qualify for their MI license. We are proud to update that we have 3 newly licensed EMTs who are ready to put their skills to work! These 3 passed on their first attempt. We couldn’t be more proud! More to come as more pass.
