Jeffery D. Vogt, the Fire Chief of the Roberts-Warren Fire Association, was recently recognized by the Board of Directors for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for achieving 20 consecutive years as a nationally registered EMT.

To maintain his status as a nationally registered EMT, Chief Vogt completed, on a biennial basis, the most comprehensive recertification program for emergency medical technicians in America. He not only completed courses to refresh his fundamental knowledge and skills but also attended a minimum of two hours per month of additional continuing education courses to advance his knowledge on new lifesaving skills.

By maintaining his nationally registered status and completing regular continuing education courses, Chief Vogt is among the few elite EMTs with the most training in pre-hospital emergency medical care in the nation.

Chief Vogt was nationally registered as an ambulance attendant in 1989 and has been serving the Village of Roberts and Town of Warren communities since 1986.
