In October we had three companywide EMS training. The first was a joint training with the Fire division on a case review from a recent house fire that where both the Fire and EMS division responded too where there were ended up being multiple patients who needed evaluated/transport. The second was a class specifically hosted for our providers who serve as Field Training Officers entitled "From EMT to Mentor: Teaching the Next Generation" and was taught by Paramedic Jeremy Ulrich from New Holland Ambulance. The third training was with Hand in Hand Fire Company where we provided three ambulances for their vehicle extrication drill. Individually, several members continued progressing through crew chief training, driver training, completed annual continuing education for certification and participated in impromptu skill labs during duty shifts throughout the month.
