Fire-Based EMS and the National Registry

The National Registry of EMTs Episode 43

Let's have an honest discussion about fire-based EMS with the latest episode of Registry Insider! Join host Bill Seifarth as he engages in a compelling conversation with National Registry Board Chair, Michael McEvoy, a fire chief, active EMS clinician, and past chair of the IAFC EMS Section, about how the fire service is changing in real time. With a large percentage of EMS responses nationwide coming from fire departments, the traditional "we fight fires" mindset is giving way to a new reality: EMS is the fire service in many communities. From building their own accredited training programs to innovating continuing education for shift-based crews, fire-based EMS systems are adapting fast.
