EMS Week 2026: Monday - Education Day!
Did you know: To maintain certification, Indiana EMTs must complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education, while EMRs (first responders) require 20 hours, covering essential topics such as CPR certification and driver's training, and audit and review. This educational commitment highlights the dedication of our volunteer responders, who not only answer emergency calls at all hours of the day and night but also work hard to fulfill rigorous certification requirements. Their service and sacrifice are deeply appreciated.
Be sure to thank a first responder today!
