Kate Dernocoeur

Episode 152 is Kate Dernocoeur. Kate is a fascinating and energetic person to have on a podcast. Kate is a NREMT, has written numerous books, articles, and columns, particularly for EMS readers. Her involvement with emergency care began in 1974, and she served with Denver’s famous Paramedic Division from 1979 to 1986. She is now an EMT-firefighter with Ada (MI) Fire Department and a SARTECH-II with Kent County SAR’s K9 Unit. The 4th edition of her seminal book, Streetsense: Communication, Safety, and Control is scheduled for release in 2019. We talk about her path, why she likes EMS, writing and how StreetSense came about as well as some of her mentors. This episode is sponsored by Erin Cohen from Fathom Realty.
