The Taylorville Fire Department is hosting a paramedic training program.  The School of EMS is running the program.  The organization provides training for emergency responders of a variety of classifications across most U.S. states and around the world.  This collaboration with the Taylorville Fire Department is the organization’s first involvement in Illinois.

Taylorville Fire Chief Matt Adermann is overseeing his department’s involvement in this collaboration.  The first day of the course is on June 22.

Chief Adermann adds that the presence of a good number of certified first responders makes a major difference when responding to incidents where injuries happen. 

The fire chief also spoke on the burning schedule implemented in September.  It expires at the end of March, at which point the department and other city officials will re-evaluate.
