Kearney Fire’s first EMS Tech Institution Established

The Kearney Fire and Rescue Protection District (KFRPD) has worked with the University of Missouri Extension to establish its first EMS program.

The two agencies established the first Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) program and it’s being provided by the EMS Education Institute in the state of Missouri.

“The establishment of this AEMT program is a testament to our commitment to enhancing the quality of emergency medical services in our community and beyond,” reads the announcement on KFRPD’s Facebook page. “The partnership aims to address the growing need for highly trained emergency medical professionals capable of providing advanced life-saving techniques.”

Six KFRPD students will graduate from the course in a few weeks the course will conclude. The students will undergo rigorous training and education which prepares them to deliver advanced levels of care in emergency medical situations.
