So many questions, so little time!⏳

We know it can seem like we are asking so many questions but your answers provide critical information that helps us determine what type and how much help to send. Once a location has been determined, an emergency response is initiated.

💡Answering the call taker's questions does NOT delay help!

Emergencies can be stressful so remember, the more information you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help you when seconds count!⏰

🚑Jenn Vantiger - Full-time EMT in Donnellson🚑

1. How long have you worked in EMS?
-EMS a little over a year, I've been a respiratory therapist since 2009

2. Who has been the biggest influence on your career path, and why?
- It really wasn't a person, but an opportunity. I worked at Henry County as a RT and a patient needed transferred, I had an opportunity to be a team member in the back and I think that's when I think i wanted to make a switch to pre-hospital care, I just didn't know how.

3. What are you most passionate about outside of work?

4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

- Let's just say....there will be signs

6. Describe a funny or memorable moment you’ve had with a colleague.
- When I first started at Lee County, we got called to an accident and I made an absolute mess of putting on my bunker gear.

Let's just say if I was ever wondering about moonlighting as a firefighter, the question was quickly answered right then and there.

7. What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
- riding my horses or hitting up a weekend rodeo or barrel race during the summer. When the weather falls below 60⁰ you will find me under blankets and hibernating until spring.

- You are your worst critic, don't be so hard on yourself.

9. If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?
