Frequently asked questions
How much training do I need? Is there a cost?
In order to be a response team member, you must be certified as an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) or willing to take the class. EMR courses are typically 49 hours and offered regionally through local technical colleges. The cost is under $500 and financial assistance may be available from Emergency Services of Barron County on a case-by-case basis.
Do I have to purchase my equipment and supplies?
No. Once you are accepted as a team member, all response equipment and supplies are issued at no cost. This includes a fully-stocked gear bag, personal protective equipment, reflective vest, portable radio, etc.
What type of time commitment?
Being a volunteer, your time committment is based upon your personal availability. The more time you have, the more people you can help. Group meetings are typically held locally on a monthly basis, which include team updates and training. We encourage potential members to discuss this with their families before applying, because emergencies happen around the clock.
