Vermont Emergency First Responder (VEFR)

From time to time we have folks interested in helping but are only interested in assisting on scene and driving and/or do not have the time to spend in a course.  The VEFR level is a 2 day course that outlines what we do in EMS, as well as some basic first aid and CPR training.  VT requires 2 licensed personnell to transport a pt to the hospital.  To be licensed previously, one would be required to take a 60 hour course.  The VEFR course is a weekend course which then makes you a licensed member of the crew to assist on scene and drive the ambulance.  It's a great first step in helping your community.
