National Association of Hispanic Firefighters Endorsement
Brothers
and Sisters,
In
the increasingly diverse communities we serve as Firefighters and Emergency
Responders much of the population have limited English language skills.
Over 30 million Americans, roughly 12% of the population, speak Spanish as a
first or second language making Spanish easily the country's second most spoken
language; the United States thus has the fifth largest Spanish speaking
population in the world; after Mexico, Spain, Colombia and Argentina.
The
National Association of Hispanic Firefighters has reviewed and
endorsed Tactical Spanish for Firefighters/ EMS Personnel . We believe
that your completion of this course will significantly enhance your ability to
serve your community more safely and effectively.
You'll
be able to communicate adequately in Spanish in real life Firefighter/ EMS
scenarios including performing medical examinations, firefighting, prevention
and fire safety etc. Thank you for your efforts to better serve your community.
Alberto Olmos
President National
Association of Hispanic
Firefighters
