![]() ![]() My tidbit to add, is that HECMs really need to know their sh*t. ![]() I opened a HECM taskbook for the same reason you are talking about, to be able to shorthaul patients as an EMT if need be, if the responding ship didn't have extra HECMs.along with being able to single resource on assignments/do project flights. I work as a Park Ranger with NPS for my normal job, but detail around 3 months a year during fire season. The last crew I detailed with wouldn't sign people off until their 2nd or 3rd season. HECM is difficult enough from what I've seen to get actual Helitack members certified. ![]() It says that the 2023 application session opens in November. Heres their Academy Powerpoint and the Application for the 2022 sessions (with dates included). Piggybacking off of what Ssgtsiler said, the GRCA academy usually has a few "academies per year." But I believe the prerequisite is that the HECM taskbook has already been initiated. Sad truth is that clearly medical resources are contracted out to private companies, and we know how that goes.Īlthough I do know of some cross training going on between various helitack crews and REMS teams. As well as PT packaging, comms discipline and proficiencies, etc. I think they flew two of em out immediately.Īnd once the EMPFs were on scene and had established contact, they couldnt turn the PTs over until someone had the same scope/license or higher.Īnd I do agree that basic air ops (S219/S270/S271, and others) should be a minimal pre-req for fireline medical positions. Had around 4 FFs or so, get hit by a tree (or trees). Yea that happened in R5 as well last year. ![]()
