Rose and Rebecca's successful completion of the 2025 GEM EMI Paramedic Program this week represented a significant milestone for members of the Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company. In order to prepare students for advanced life support duties, the curriculum consists of comprehensive classroom education, clinical practice, and field training. Graduates of the program are eligible to offer more advanced emergency medical treatment in the areas they serve.
Noting that advanced EMS training enhances both local response capabilities and regional mutual assistance operations, department officials acknowledged the time, work, and dedication needed to finish the program.
