The Hutchinson Fire Department (HFD) is looking to boost its efficiency. On Feb. 1, HFD began a six-month pilot study to determine whether advanced EMT training is the answer. All the Hutchinson firefighters are EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians) trained, but the advanced training would allow them to be more helpful on the scene and take steps before EMS (Emergency Medical Services) arrives. There are four Hutchinson firefighters who are AMT (American Medical Technologists) trained.
