Albert Peterson - Owner of American Safety Programs and Training, Inc.

 

In April of 2006 I officially established American Safety Programs & Training Inc. Prior to establishing ASP & Training Inc. I had worked for a company that had been in business for 10 years providing EMS training. After achieving my I/C license I began teaching various courses on my own. This allowed me the fortitude to start my own business. Since ASP & Training Inc. was established we have been continuously been providing many classes in the EMS field to our students.

Also, I am currently serving on the North Providence Fire Department. I am Lt. assigned to Rescue Co.2. I have been with the Department since 1986. Serving initially as a Communications Dispatcher for the Fire Department. After achieving an EMT-Basic and then EMT-Cardiac License, I was hired as a Firefighter in 1988.I also hold the following certifications: EMS I/C, CPR instructor, Haz-Mat (awareness and entry levels), EMS I. V. pump training instructor, WMD mass casualty Instructor. Firefighter Level-1.

I have served as the Departments Director of EMS for 8 years. In my years as Director of EMS, I developed the AED Program. We trained over 100 coaches and lay people for the Towns School and Recreation Departments. I also developed the program implementing the upgrade to Class-2 Licenses for the Fire apparatus. As a result, the Fire apparatus carried such items as an AED and several life saving medications that they did not prior to this program.

Some of my proudest moments have been when I (as others) have been decorated for meritorious citation of duty. Being a part of implementing some new programs, as mentioned above, to the department.

Also sharing the good and bad time with my second family, my brother and sister Firefighters. These memories last a lifetime.
