A pile of other classes and quals I don't remember, espcially wildand (there were some incident business classes, etc in there). I let my EMT certification go a few years ago due to lack of use. Wish I would've kept it as I could use it again. May go back and get EMR or something along those lines.

I don’t want to be a killjoy here, but I’m kind of thinking the listing of every certificate you’ve ever received here probably isn’t necessary. I recently retired from the fire service and just because I’m an old guy who had been around a long time, I accumulated a ton of certificates along the way. Most of them were BS from classes I sat through and managed to stay awake long enough so I could pass the quiz at the end and stuff another certificate in my file.
Feel free to list every certificate you’ve ever received if you want. I just want everyone to know that if you just say “firefighter” or “sheriff’s deputy” you‘ll have my full respect. No list of certificates will gain you more and you won’t have to type as much
