Fire & Medical Response

Psychological screening increases the probability that you will get the right people for your Fire & Medical Response organization.

The unique demands of fire service requires that a fireperson not only have the technical and psychological ability necessary to fight fires, but the resourcefulness to respond to other critical situations. These include rescue operations, first responder medical calls, hazardous materials containment, neutralization and removal, natural disasters, and terrorist events. Clear, focused thinking uncompromised by problematic emotional distress is crucial in order to decisively follow through in response to such situations. Effective social facility which enables cooperative effort with commanders and co-workers is also fundamental.

Psychological screening increases the probability that you will get the right people for your Fire & Medical Response organization. In addition, our fit-for-duty, critical incident officer status evaluations and individualized training programs will insure that once on the job your Fire & Medical Response personnel will receive the help they need to resolve problems and advance professionally.
