Hollis Fire & Emergency Medical Services Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Annual Report

Hollis Fire-Rescue has a very dedicated staff, many of whom are cross trained in both fire and EMS. Of our total staff of 40, 30 are trained firefighters, 13 are Licensed Paramedics, 4 are licensed Advanced EMT’s and 6 are licensed Basic EMT’s. I am proud to say that Hollis Fire-Rescue has made a name for itself as a learning and advancement focused department. Our Recruitment and Retention Program has blossomed, and we continuously have members actively enrolled in advancement training. Currently, we have four members in paramedic school, one in basic EMT school and two in firefighter rookie school. Last year several members attended classes to become Fire Instructors as well as Fire Officer classes. We provide regular department wide training to our members to keep our staff well versed in evolving techniques that make us better at serving the community. It is my intent to continue these trends of improvement for our department and continue to offer the best service possible to our community each and every year. I wish to recognize the dedicated, hard working individuals who make up our amazing staff for continuing to provide professional service to our community.
