Last month I told you about changes coming to Appleton's paramedic services, and that’s when I learned that Grand Chute Fire has started a program of their own to certify their firefighters as paramedics, and I wanted to let you know about it. I’m your Appleton neighborhood reporter Olivia Acree with more on this program and what the fire department has to say about it.
When the bell rings at the Grand Chute fire department, class is dismissed, and it’s time to respond to a call.
On the lesson plan is paramedic training.
“In house paramedic class and training for our members,” said Denzien.
That’s fire chief Steve Denzien. He started an in-house paramedic training program.
“We're seeing people who are coming in with less, less certifications and licensures,” said Denzien.
