We would like to introduce one of our new instructors Ken.

Ken started his career in 2009 at 18 years old. He began as a part time/volunteer at Rossford Fire Department and left there in 2015. In 2013 he was hired by a large law enforcement agency where he is currently still at. He has worked full time SWAT for roughly 4 years. He was promoted to Sergeant and has been in the Gang Task Force for roughly 5 years. Ken has ran a tactical medical team since 2021. He is certified OPOTA instructor, NREMT Instructor, TCCC, TECC, BCON, PHTLS, and Active Threat.

We are very excited to have Ken join our team. He brings great real life experience and has ton of knowledge in this field.

Our instructors from Northwest Ohio TECC spent the last two days with Southwestern Hancock Joint Fire District. This was this departments first time with us and they brought great energy both days. Each member of this department was very receptive and eager to learn everything they could from us in the short time we had together.

We look forward to working with you all again and getting you recertified when you are all ready!

Huge thank you to our volunteer “victims”! The realism they bring to scenario day is unmatched and we are extremely grateful for the dedication they have.

Thank you Chief Corey Miracle for your hospitality.

Day two was scenario day. With assistance from Bluffton PD and members of the Bluffton University Football team as "victims", class participants were given comprehensive Rescue Task Force training.

We want to thank Bluffton EMS, Bluffton PD, and Bluffton University for their dedication to keeping their community safe.
