Classes are offered both in-person and online, and custom courses and training are also available for local departments, according to Kramer.

“Our main goal is really to help out these rural departments where you have ... one person who is responsible for like 150 miles because they're a volunteer, and they're not EMT certified, and they're the only person out there,” Kramer said. “That's the gap we're trying to fill.”
