Firefighter Aly Bryner successfully completed the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification exam to become our newest Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). She took the comprehensive course through CCAC Public Service Institute with the course hosted at Holiday Park VFD. Several examinations are required from the college, state, and national level to earn the certification.
Emergency Medical Responders provide immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical services system. EMRs have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide immediate lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS resources to arrive. EMRs also provide assistance to higher-level personnel at the scene of emergencies and during transport. Emergency Medical Responders are a vital part of the comprehensive EMS response. Under medical oversight, Emergency Medical Responders perform basic interventions with minimal equipment.
