Fire & Emergency Services

Program

Associate of Technical Study in Fire and Emergency Services

The Fire and Emergency Services program prepares you to meet community needs for fire and emergency medical protection. Students may begin the program by scheduling fire courses the first year or you may choose to begin with emergency medical courses. If you begin with emergency medical sequence, you must have an Ohio EMT-B (Emergency Medical Technician Basic) Certificate.

The one-year Fire Fighter portion of the program offers the certification courses for Fire Fighter I and Fire Fighter II. Fire fighting training is conducted at the Hocking Davis Fire Training Facility. The one-year Emergency Medical portion of the program prepares you to work as a paramedic. After four quarters of emergency medicine, you may take the exam for certification as an Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (EMT-P). The program exceeds the national standards curriculum requirements established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Graduates must take the National Registry EMT-P exam. A fully-equipped ambulance serves as a training vehicle and Hocking College’s medical lab simulates an emergency room.
