Firefighters and first responders have been recertified in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training. They also completed training in Meth Labs (recognizing clandestine methamphetamine labs). They are in the process of being certified in Incident Command System training to meet national standards as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. First responders have sent in their paperwork and have been recertified for the next three years from the Ohio Department of Public Safety, EMS Division.
