EMT Strong
EMT's are not often appreciated for how strong they are. People always think of how strong firefighters are wearing heavy SCBA and bunker gear, hauling charged hose lines, ladders and equipment into structures, onto roofs and working out to stay in shape physically. Everyone considers Police Officers strong, fighting with bad guys, running and chasing the perps, handcuffs and takedowns. Just watch any movie or TV show featuring firemen or police they are all strapping strong and physically fit. But no one ever thinks about how strong an active EMT has to be day in and day out.
EMS calls mean patients of all sizes and shapes and an EMT may respond with only one or two other people on his ambulance. They have to carry overstocked first aid bags, defibrillators, oxygen tanks and carrying equipment into the patient with them at rapid speed. After quick medical intervention and stabilization the patients now have to be carried out to the litter and ambulance, its rare that a patient can be allowed to walk out by themselves. Imagine carrying full size adults, often very large full size adults laying on a board, reeves or even in a stair chair down flights of stairs. Imagine doing this during their medical emergency. Don't forget all the equipment they brought in has to be brought out along with the victim.
Victims of trauma, motor vehicle crashes and fall victims have to be stabilized and maneuvered by EMS personnel often out of crushed cars and awkward locations. All of course while doing no further harm to their patient. And no harm to themselves.
No one really realizes how much physical strength an EMT has to have to respond to their patient, treat them quickly and proficiently and deliver them to the hospital safe and sound for further medical treatment until they actually have to do the job.

Volunteer EMT's and Rescue Squads
EMS is more than just anonymous emergency workers that magically appear when you call 9-1-1. An EMT takes highly specialized courses to get their certification including 100's of hours of classroom and hands on training. Learning everything from taking vital signs like blood pressures, pulses and lung sounds to handling trauma injuries and psychiatric emergencies EMT's must be prepared for anything when they jump into their ambulance and respond to your emergency at a moment's notice.
Many people don't realize that the EMT that responds to your emergency may be your neighbor, someone who lives in your community and volunteers their time and ability with your local volunteer rescue squad. They wake up in the middle of the night even though they have a career job to go to the next day, they leave dinner with their families and drop what they are doing because they are that dedicated.

Emergency Medical Technicians offer their gifts of care in many different types of emergency situations. Many volunteer EMT's go on to become career EMT'S, paramedics or Fire Rescue crews and still take the time to volunteer their expertise and personal time with their local volunteer rescue squads.
Your local volunteer rescue squad needs you. Even if you have never thought of joining before or have never had any medical experience, consider calling your local rescue squad to learn more about volunteer opportunities in your community.
EMT Class Get School Certified
EMT's also known as Emergency Medical Technicians, are the first responders to emergencies like motor vehicle accidents, heart attacks and other medical emergencies. EMTs deliver basic medical treatment on the scene and transport patients to the hospital, where they report to the information about the patients to the Emergency Room nurses and physicians. EMTs must pass a certified training program and be certified by the state. They can then advance to the intermediate level and eventually if they choose to, they can advance to the paramedic level.
After successfully completing this class, students still need to take and pass the licensed exam for certified emergency medical technicians before they can wear the EMT Star of Life.
The EMT-Basic class includes hours in the classroom and in the field. Students are required to have a high school diploma or GED to enroll. They will learn to monitor vitals like taking a pulse and reading a blood pressure under emergency conditions, high pressure situations and even while in a moving ambulance. Many EMT's and Paramedics buy their own blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes and even First Aid Kits to have on hand both on duty and off.

EMT courses usually take over 180 hours to complete. Those hours will be spent learning to asses patients conditions, performing CPR, dealing with blood loss including everything from bandaging wounds to caring for a patient in Shock. EMS students learn to manage respiratory problems and even how to deliver babies. There are hundreds of hours in classroom lectures and you want to be sure you take great notes during the classes and when you go home and study.
