First Responder Course

For those interested, we are putting together another First Responder Course. If you do not have a current CPR card, that is offered in a separate time frame, at the same place by the same trainers, thanks again Mae. I believe that the length of this free course is 40 hrs. and will be held at the ambulance barn in Ozark, east on 14 towards Sparta about 1 mile on the right behind the funeral home- no connection.

Normally it’s done on Tue and Thur evenings from 6 till 10. Included are things like, basic anatomy, oxygen bottle use, circulatory system, trauma of various kinds, emergency medicine, etc.

You must have CERT training before you can take this course. During this course, you will see how CERT training built a foundation for First Responder course. First Responder course is much more involved than CERT and is all medical, no repelling from helicopters, no chainsaws, no fire suppression- that I can remember. Please let me know if you are interested and we’ll set one up for late Oct or early Nov.
