The emergency medical technician certification program is intended to provide the initial training for students to receive emergency medical technician certification in the state of Georgia. Fourteen students completed twenty one weeks of classroom and clinical instruction provided through the Henry County Fire Department Training Division. Coordinators of the program provided students with instruction in topics ranging from trauma, medical, obstetrical, geriatric and EMS operations. Individuals who completed the program include Kortney Cheek, Jesus Favela, Bryan Glass, Scott Groover, Patrick Harrison, Jeremy Hicks, Owen High, Mario Hooper, Noah Hudgins, Michael Johnson, Johnathan Owens, Daniel Roy, Desmond Walker and Donald Wright. This group of men and women were also recent graduates of the Henry County Fire Academy and are eager to begin shift work on February 29, 2016. Interim Fire Chief Brad Johnson and Division Chief of Training Ike McConnell offered words of encouragement and praise as they presented each student with a certificate of completion. “You have been selected to serve and protect the citizens and visitors of Henry County,” stated Interim Fire Chief Johnson. “Be consistent; always be dedicated to the job, your fellow firefighters and the goals you set for yourself.”
