I joined my local volunteer fire department in 1992, and the volunteer rescue squad in 1993. Currently hold state and national certification as EMT-B, and run many of the 160+ squad calls a year. I am also AHA certified CPR/AED and First Aid instructor. About 18 months ago, working with a friend who is an MD in the next county, we set up a non-profit to raise money for training. Volunteers were reluctant to pay the $100 up front for EMT training, and have to go out of the county two nights a week for 5-6 months. With the money we raised we offered free training, and brought the instructors to the students. So far we have trained and certified a dozen new EMTs for the two counties, have 11 more in a new class, and I have taught CPR/AED and first aid to about 75 citizens, again at no cost to them. That's how we are solving the volunteer recruitment in out area, anyway. Adding about 4-6 new EMTs a year in each county isn't bad!
