First on the Scene (FOTS)

The First on the Scene (FOTS) course was developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC). Instructors teach course participants the skills for basic emergency response to life-threatening emergencies.
