DetecTogether
3 Steps Detect - Early Cancer Detection is an education program from DetecTogether (formerly 15-40 Connection) that is designed to teach first responders to detect cancer early. EMT’s experience high levels of stress, disruptive sleep schedules and exposure to carcinogens on the fire ground throughout their careers, all of which are proven to contribute to higher cancer morbidity and mortality. This free 45 minute in-person course teaches first responders how to baseline their own good health; recognize subtle health changes to their baseline that could be symptoms of cancer; and when and how to seek care from their health practitioner.
Schedule 3 Steps Detect to come to your department here. Or call 508-826-9442 for more information.

The"National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. Incident Command System (ICS) 100 and IS 700 are required for all EMTs. It is highly recommended that you also complete ICS 200 and IS 800. All of these classes are eligible for continuing education credit.
