About StarFire EMS
StarFire EMS is an OEMS accredited training institution. We have EMTs, paramedics, nurses, and physicians with more than 350 combined years EMS prehospital and hospital-based experience in addition to their years as EMS educators as our program staff. Our instructional staff has more than 150 years as credentialed EMS instructors in Massachusetts and/or New Hampshire. All program staff members are certified by the American Heart Association as CPR instructors (CPR and/or ACLS).
Our teaching staff work in many of the ambulance services in the northeast part of Massachusetts with principal instructional staff members having more than 150 years combined years of experience in hospital-based EMS, private ambulance industry, fire- based service, and (specialty) sports car racing EMS. Program skill lab teaching staff brings another fifty years of experience with them.
StarFire EMS is accredited by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health/Office of Emergency Medical Services as an EMS training institution. Our programs meet or exceed all requirements established by the Department of Transportation/National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (DOT/NHTSA) and amended by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We have met a stringent set of criteria as far as our programs, our staff, and our equipment are concerned. We have not only met the minimum set of criteria, but we make every effort to exceed those minimums whenever and wherever we can. For you, this means we offer an exciting, vibrant program.
We expect you to work hard – and we promise to work hard as well. Our goal is to prepare you to be successful – in completing the course, in completing the State EMT Certification Exam, and in working as an EMT. We hope to become your source of EMS education – initial training programs, continuing education programs, and refresher training programs. Instructors and teaching program staff will help you learn what you need to know to work in the streets as an emergency medical technician (EMT).
To our prospective students: StarFire EMS program instructors and skill lab teaching staff have been teaching emergency medical courses – initial training, continuing education, and refresher training programs - for many years. Some have been involved since 1975, others since 1988, and still others joined us in the last ten to fifteen years. We are proud of the work we have done and the students that have and continue to be taught in our program.
