VIDEO: A trio of firefighters and two instructors huddled around a table with a facility arm on it. They were learning how to administer an IV as part of ongoing instruction into pharmacology. Engineer Derrick Green is one of the firefighters and students. “We were going over some skills with IV administration. A lot of these medications, and even just basic fluids, require an IV to get them inside whoever may need them. It’s definitely a valuable skill to have and one of the more used paramedic skills,” he said. The instruction is part of a class from Fox Valley Technical College that prepares the firefighters to earn their Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic license.
