Negotiations to ratify the partnership with the Marin County Fire Department will reconvene the third week of January 2024, intending to integrate AHA CPR certification with our EMT and EMR courses. Over the next year, Fire Technology can begin training college programs and students, eventually becoming an umbrella agency, allowing CPR instructors affiliated with dental and nursing to certify their students through our Training Site. What’s more exciting is that COM will cater to fire departments, hospitals, ambulance agencies, and the people of Marin and surrounding counties.
This will be a perennial asset to Marin County and a step toward a safer, well-informed, better-prepared community. This is the kind of win-win benefit that we should be striving for at the college, as well as be very proud of when it accomplish it.
