Please be patient while other Parkman Volunteers will be added soon.
Meanwhile - show much appreciation to your local Parkman Volunteer Fire and Rescue members - a devoted group
that works hard to serve our community at your time of need!

It’s transition time: the hot days of summer are behind us and the cool days of winter approach. Gone are the bee stings, flu season is here, and hypothermia is waiting in the wings. Sound interesting? I can guarantee there’s seldom a dull moment. Would any of our residents like to join us in serving their friends and neighbors in one of the finest ways possible? The department pays for your fire and EMT basic training courses. The Trustees have passed the following guidelines for Paramedic training:

1. The member applying for Paramedic training must be recommended by the Fire Chief or the Medical Officer.

2. The candidate must have been a member of the Parkman Fire Department for at least one year and an EMT for a minimum of one year.

4. The Township will pay for classes and materials up to $4,000 per person for a state-approved Paramedic educational program. This amount may be adjusted by the Township Trustees on recommendation of the Fire Chief, if necessary.

5. The candidate will be asked to sign a promissory note to repay the Township for these training classes if he/she does not remain on the Parkman Township Fire Department as an active participant for a minimum period of two years after receiving his/her Ohio State Certification Paramedic card.

6. If the candidate does not pass the National Registry tests or does not meet the requirements of obtain his/her Ohio State Certification Paramedic card, he/she must pay for any additional classes and testing on his/her own. The candidate must continue to actively pursue obtaining his/her Ohio State Certification Paramedic card.

7. If the candidate does not pass the National Registry tests or does not meet the requirements to obtain his/her Ohio State Certification Paramedic card within two years after first sitting for the National Registry examinations, he/she will be required to repay the Township for those monies advanced for the initial Paramedic training classes.

As I tell all our EMT students, if you want it bad enough, you can do it. Any questions?
Talk to any Fire Department member or come to the station on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm and meet the troops.
1st Wednesday is monthly meeting, 3rd Wednesday is EMS training, 2nd and 4th Wednesdays are Fire training and/or maintenance.
Bring your enthusiasm and dedication. We’ll supply the rest.

Anyone interested in becoming trained in emergency medicine and responding
with the Fire Department, contact Chuck or Joan at 548-7541.
