Being a member of AFR is demanding, and continuing education is critical for our success. Most EMS agencies and fire departments require their members to maintain their own CE's, but AFR members receive all required CE's, every year, paid for by the department. The curriculum is provided by the department and completed on-duty — no conferences, no seminars and no searching!
