We recorded this episode at the Fort Wayne Fire Museum and sat down with Dennis Giere to talk through where EMS came from, how it gained momentum, and why understanding its beginnings still matters today. This episode looks at the foundation of the service so many of us are proud to be part of and why its history continues to influence how we serve our communities now.
