The passing of Gasper Township Fire and EMS Chief Mike Jeffery

On behalf of the Executive Committee and all of Greater Miami Valley EMS Council, our thoughts and prayers are with Chief Jeffery's family and loved ones and the members of his department.

This was unexpected, and out of concern for the family's expenses, a GoFundMe site has been established at https://www.gofundme.com/2h8kkrg.

Visitation is Wednesday from 3 – 8 PM at Brethren Church on Camden Road in Eaton, with the funeral on Thursday.

Greater Miami Valley EMS Council

GMVEMSC Mobile App

The updated GMVEMSC mobile app is live and now loaded with the latest 2016 protocols for all certification levels! The issues experienced recently by Android users have also been resolved by the app hosting company.

If you already have the app, just close and relaunch it to see the latest features and protocols. If you do not have the app yet stand by a few days as we are in the process of submitting it to the Apple App Store and Google Play so it can be downloaded by new users. We'll let everyone know when that process is complete.

We appreciate your patience, and as always let us know if there are ways the app could be improved!

Thanks,
GMVEMSC Web Team
