First
Responders!
By Aaron Bechen
With the record number of students signed
up for the First Responders class you can be
sure that there will be plenty of people around
that can handle an emergency situation.
There are 13 students in the First Responder
class this year, and is so far the biggest
it has ever been.
The First Responder class is a college credit
class, through WIT, and is taught by Mr.
Clark.
In the First Responders class, the students
learn what to do when people are hurt and
they are the first ones at the scene.
The students are put in real-life scenarios
as drills and practice their skills that they have
learned on dummies.
This is Mr. Clark’s favorite part of class.
“I like helping the students with the handson
drills and scenarios,” stated Mr. Clark.
By the end of the class, the students will
be able to know how to handle most any
emergency situation from car crashes to
shootings.
The students practice CPR and emergency
lifts and carries regularly.
The students can’t treat anyone until the
class is completed and they are state certified,
but it is the first step to becoming a member
of an EMS crew.
The students get an opportunity to go on
calls in the ambulance through the Mapleton
EMS.
The ambulance was brought to the school
by Dave Schmidt during class so that all of
the students could see where everything is
so that they can find it when they go on a call
and help the EMS team.
The students signed up for days to carry a
beeper so that when a call comes out, they
can hear it and respond.
When a student responds to a call, they
leave school immediately and go to the ambulance
shed and get in the ambulance with
the EMS crew.
Mr. Clark also carries a beeper so that if a
call does go out he can hear it as well and
make sure the student with the beeper gets
to their call just in case they didn’t hear it.
So far 5 students have had the chance to
respond to a call. The goal is for everyone to
get to go on at least one call.
All of the students had to come in on Saturday,
February 11 for CPR certification class.
They were tested on how well they did
CPR on a infant, young child, and an adult.
They also learned how to use a defibrillator
in more serious situations.
