Are you asking yourself why is there a Firefighter Maltese Cross on an EMS site?
The answer is that several of our members are dual certified and the State of Ohio now requires that Firefighters also have CE hours. With this new policy, came several questions. As a public service, the Ohio Association of EMS is providing you, the dual responder, with links to sites that may answer these many questions. This is provided solely as reference material and it is the responsibility of the individual responder to follow through with their certification renewal.
FYI: There will be a representative from the
Ohio Dept. of Public Safety
at the Fall 08' Conference
