An EMS education extraction class is scheduled in Independence for early May.

On Tuesday, May 2nd, Independence Community College's EMS Education will have an extrication class for students. This event will take place at ICC West at 6:00 PM. The public is invited to watch. With assistance from Independence’s Fire/EMS, Neodesha’s Fire/EMS and the Rural Fire Department, students will get hands-on training in freeing someone who is trapped or entangled, mirroring a real-life on-the-job experience.

ICC’s EMS Education Director Sue Manning says this is a great opportunity for the public to see the EMT students in action and for the several departments to work together.
