First Responders

First Responders

First Responders are medically-trained volunteers that respond from their homes directly to the scene of an emergency to bridge the time gap before an ambulance arrives. Responders Receive 62 hours of certified training through the Chippewa Valley Technical College and are state of Wisconsin licensed through the State of WI. 50% of the members have continued their medical learning to be licensed as Emergency Medical Technicians. This would include another 159 hours or more to become licensed as EMT-basics, another 600 hours as EMT-Intermediates, or 1400 hours as licensed paramedics.
A critical difference is placement of life-saving equipment with responders in the rural setting. Each Responder carries medical supplies, an advanced airway kit, oxygen, stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, blankets, and limited medications, such as glucose for diabetics, as well as reassurance for patients that the ambulance is on its way. In addition, town governments have purchased seven Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) that are strategically placed with Responders in the town areas.

  1. Fast responders do really a noble work for us. They risk their lives to save our society from criminals, various disasters, incurable diseases like covid-19 and other ill events. They really perform as a friendly bridge to cover up the emergency time gap. Just landed on your beautiful blog post and impressed most trailing to the end of your great humanitarian article. This was incredibly effective job. Thank you very much for clearing the training details. I think they get first responder discount for any purchase for their subconscious help.
