Apollo Career Center invited Fire and EMS personnel out to brush up on their skills at the second annual Regional Fire/EMS School Seminar.
Around 17 emergency service agencies were represented at the seminar to discuss the basics as well as some new techniques across topics including auto extrication, forcible entry, and patient assessment.
Practicing these skills at the seminar allows EMS to hone their skills in a safe, low-pressure environment.
"This is the perfect place to do it because there is no life [in danger] at the present time so they can train and use those new techniques and new tools or some new education, as far as EMS," said Jeff Orphal, Public Safety Program Manager at Apollo. "They'll be able to provide it back in the community."
Fire and EMS personnel are required by the State of Ohio to earn continuing education credits between 15 and 86 hours every three years, depending on what job they perform.
