🚲 Expanding our capabilities—on two wheels!

This week, Fredericksburg Fire/EMS proudly hosted an IPMBA Bike Medic Course, bringing together personnel for hands-on training and certification.

We’re excited to share that 6 Fredericksburg Fire/EMS members and 1 Kerrville Fire Department member successfully completed the course and testing today—adding valuable bike medic resources to our team and our region.
