The department has implemented it's new training policy to fall in line with the new state of Georgia standards of 60 hours of training per year, effective 1 July 2004. This change to the standards will now allow volunteers to become, and stay certified by the state, something that in the past, only paid firefighters have been able to do.

We will be happy to provide reports to people requesting, as long as the request falls within the new patient privacy laws. The privacy laws prohibit the release of medical information except in the following cases:

1. To the patient
2. To the parent or legal guardian of a minor
3. To an individual empowered by law or court decree to act for the patient
4. To the family of a deceased patient.
5. To a person with an agency with the duty of collecting data for statistical purposes as authorized by law

A patient’s family must have written consent from the patient in order to obtain a report. Family members of a deceased patient must show identification and give a written statement verifying their relationship to the deceased.
