AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC.

BECOME A MEMBER

We are currently seeking ambitious individuals to add to our team.  If you are person that works well in a team-oriented environment, you may be what we are looking for!  We are in need of First Responders, EMTs and Paramedics that live near or in the City of Oconto Falls. 

Here is a brief explanation of an EMT:

EMT-Basic Characteristics:
EMT-Basics work as part of a team.  Thorough knowledge of theoretical procedures and ability to integrate knowledge and performance into practical situations are critical.  Self-confidence, emotional stability, good judgment, tolerance for high stress, and a pleasant personality are also essential characteristics of the successful EMT-Basic at any level.  EMT-Basics also must be able to deal with adverse social situations, which include responding to calls in districts known to have high crime rates

Physical Demands:
Aptitudes required for work of this nature are good physical stamina, endurance, and body condition which would not be adversely affected by lifting, carrying, and balancing at times, patients in excess of 125 pounds (250, with assistance).  EMT-Basics must be able to work twenty-four-hour continuous shifts.  Motor coordination is necessary for the well-being of the patient, the EMT-B, and co-worker over uneven terrain.  

EMT Training:
The EMT-Basic curriculum is a core curriculum of minimum required information, to be presented within a 110-hour training program.  It is recognized that there is additional specific education that will be required of EMT-Basics who operate in the field, i.e. ambulance driver training, heavy and light rescue, basic extrication, special needs, and so on.  It is also recognized that this information might differ from locality to locality, and that each training program, or system should identify and provide special training requirements.  This curriculum is intended to prepare a medically competent EMT-Basic to operate in the field.  Enrichment programs and continuing education will help fulfill other specific needs for the EMT-Basic's education.

Here is a brief explanation of a First Responder:

First responders secure the emergency scene, control traffic flow, summon appropriate help from other emergency departments, gain access to patients, administer initial emergency care, move patients if necessary, and control the activities of bystanders. They attempt to prevent death or additional injuries to their patients prior to the arrival of the Emergency Medical Technicians.
