Partners
Howard County Public School System
Partners since since 2011 in reference to the Community CPR Program. HCDFRS and the HCPSS both envisioned changing the behavior of students to successfully become a responding bystander in a cardiac arrest situation. The goal was to have every 6th and 9th grader trained in Hands-Only CPR through their required health classes.
Howard County General Hospital
As partners in the health and wellness of the citizens of Howard County, the department works closely with Howard County General Hospital (HCGH) to ensure the delivery of the highest quality of emergency medical care for patients suffering from life threatening emergencies including heart attack and stroke.
International Association of Women in Fire & Emergency Service (iWomen) is an organization of women and for women — but not for women alone. Male fire chiefs, union presidents, EEO officers and others seeking to make the fire service a professional place where women and men work together harmoniously are finding iWomen a valued source of information and counsel.
