🚑 Tonight, 11 dedicated EMS professionals took the next step in their careers as they began the Advanced EMT (AEMT) Program with Bender Safety & Training Corporation at Cameron County Ambulance Service, Inc.

These students are already certified Emergency Medical Technicians in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and have chosen to continue their education to expand their knowledge, strengthen their clinical skills, and provide an even higher level of care to the communities they serve.

Over the coming months, they will complete rigorous classroom instruction, hands-on skills training, clinical experiences, and field internships as they work toward becoming Advanced EMTs.

Please join us in wishing these students the best of luck as they begin this challenging and rewarding journey. Your commitment to lifelong learning and service is what helps keep our communities safe.

Congratulations on taking this important step forward, and thank you for your dedication to EMS! 🚑👏

Bender Safety & Training Corporation is seeking one or more fire departments to participate in a vehicle extrication training exercise for students enrolled in our Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) programs.

The training exercise is being planned for either Saturday, August 8, 2026, or Sunday, August 9, 2026, with the final date to be determined based on participating agencies' availability. Lunch will be provided for all participating personnel.

This event will provide students with realistic, hands-on experience working alongside fire and rescue personnel during simulated motor vehicle crash incidents. Participating departments will be asked to bring their rescue equipment and personnel to demonstrate and perform vehicle stabilization, access, disentanglement, and extrication techniques while students participate in patient care and scene operations.

To enhance the educational value of the exercise, scenarios may incorporate simulated patients, emergency lighting, fog, sound effects, bystander distractions, and other realistic environmental factors designed to replicate the challenges encountered during actual emergency responses.

While we are willing to discuss alternative arrangements if necessary, we are respectfully requesting that the exercise be held at our training center in Weedville, Pennsylvania. Our students travel from communities throughout Pennsylvania to attend our programs, and holding the exercise at our primary training location helps ensure maximum student participation while minimizing travel burdens.

This event offers an opportunity for fire departments to assist in the education of future EMS providers while promoting interagency cooperation, teamwork, and understanding of rescue and patient care operations.

Departments interested in participating or obtaining additional information are encouraged to contact:

We appreciate the continued support of the fire service and look forward to partnering with agencies committed to training the next generation of emergency responders.

Last night was the first official night of EMT class at Bender Safety & Training & Cameron County Ambulance.

We are excited to officially welcome this group of students as they begin their EMS journey over the next several months. EMT class is challenging, fast paced, and demanding, but it is also one of the most rewarding experiences out there.

Thank you to all of our students for trusting us with your education. We are looking forward to the months ahead.

Help us wish our 19 EMT students good luck as they start this journey. 🚑
