As many of our page visitors are aware, we handle a wide array of emergency situations. In a single day we could respond to a fire, water incident, auto crash, or medical emergency. As part of our required training all members of our staff recently completed a Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) course.
While a refresher for most employees, PHTLS is a course that reviews and trains over traumatic injuries of all types from falls to automobile accidents. With this training our staff will be be better prepared, should an incident occur.
Other recent training our staff has completed includes hazardous materials training which reviewed how to identify hazardous materials incidents. Both PHTLS and the hazardous materials trainings were part of nationally recognized curriculum, but there is much more that training and education that goes on every day. With the State of Michigan requiring over 240 hours of training for firefighters annually, our entire staff stays on top of new techniques and maintains a vast knowledge base.
As always, if you ever have any questions please feel free to give us a call or stop by and we will be more than happy to share our knowledge with you.
