Medical Training
Some fire exploring posts offer medical training which can be as basic as a simple first aid certification to as advanced as a first responder certification. Explorers may be trained with basic EMS, such as CPR, spinal immobilization, IV spike, and vitals.
Explorers do go on EMS calls when riding out with their crew, and offer EMS support.
As mentioned before, there are many limits as to what an Explorer can and cannot do. Tasks may vary depending on what the officer allows the explorer to do and the extent of the training the explorer has received.
