News brief: Fire department recognized

Posted on September 25, 2008 by Staff

Orange County Emergency Services recognized Carrboro Fire-Rescue on Friday for becoming the first fire department in Orange County with all firefighters certified at the Emergency Medical Technician Basic (EMT-B) level.

The initiative to certify all Carrboro firefighters began more than a year ago. EMT-Bs must attend an accredited State of North Carolina training program with a minimum of 150 hours of initial education and 24 hours of continuing education per year once certified.

EMT-Bs are trained in CPR, traumatic injury treatment and basic airway techniques, as well as other emergency medical procedures.
