First on the Scene (FOTS) Courses

Stratford EMS is proud to offer the NAEMT First on the Scene (FOTS) course as an NAEMT Authorized Training Center.

First on the Scene (FOTS), developed by NAEMT and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), provides instructors with a toolkit to teach the general public basic emergency response to life-threatening emergencies until EMS arrives on the scene. Through lesson presentations and hands-on skill stations, participants will learn how to access help in the event of a life-threatening emergency and what to do until EMS arrives.

Simply by completing this course, you will be assisting the Town with it’s HEARTSafe Community initiatives and it might even be a great way for you to get a feeling for whether or not taking an EMT course and Volunteering for Stratford EMS is something you are interested in.
