Training blitz offers EMS responders needed classes

Bill Humes, paramedic and training officer with Cranberry Township EMS, talks to residents in May about emergency services. This year's EMS Training Blitz, which Humes founded, is scheduled for Aug. 18 and 19 at the Pittsburgh Marriott North hotel in Cranberry.

CRANBERRY TWP — When Bill Humes dreamed up the Cranberry Township Emergency Medical Service Training Blitz in 2014, he wasn't sure what to expect.

Humes, a paramedic and training officer with Cranberry Township EMS, just wanted to give fellow EMS workers an easy way to get a bunch of high-quality continuing education credits in one weekend.

“It worked,” he said.

Four years later, it has outgrown its original location and expanded to offer 34 classes. The 2018 Training Blitz is scheduled for Aug. 18 and 19 at the Pittsburgh Marriott North hotel in Cranberry.
