Welcome to EMS Furs!
10 years ago
Hello and welcome to the EMS Furs page! This group was created with the intent of providing EMS personnel from all walks of life with a place to meet one another, share artwork and ideas, look up support websites, and find other various emergency services groups here on FA. Saving lives is a noble profession that deserves recognition, no matter where you come from. Whether you're just starting on your certifications or you've already started pulling shifts, thank you for all that you do! A big shout out also goes to the friends, family, and like-minded citizens who support EMS.
From First Responder to Paramedic, this group is ready and willing to lend a hand. The lead admin, Lautrec is always available to answer questions, assist in research, and lend their ears to those that need someone to talk to. Since childhood, he's been interested in the emergency services and is pursuing a career with the hopes of becoming a firefighter-paramedic. Having already volunteered at a local fire department, they are getting ready for the next step: landing a job with an EMS agency as an EMT-B. Eager to learn, he'd be happy to assist you should you wish to contact him through this group of his personal FA.

{~When Submitting Artwork~}
If you aren't the original artist of the piece you wish to submit, please have written consent from the artist before requesting to submit something here. We cannot stress that enough as full credit for the artwork should, and shall, be given at all times! The description for the submitted work may be your own, however, a link to the original submission and the artists icon will be displayed above the quote.
If you are the artist, and your piece is a commission, please ask the person that purchased the commission if they'd be okay with you having the piece featured in this group. While it IS your artwork, it would be proper to talk to the person that purchased it from you. On top of giving full credit to an artist, we believe that respect for a customer's wishes should also be honored.
If either cannot be reached, the bare minimum requirement for a submission is a link to the artist's original submission. The submission doesn't have to be exclusively from FA as there are other art websites out there. You may also request, or share, a piece that you wish to be added to favorites rather than submitted. If the artist has not posted the artwork on their page, but they have given you permission to have it featured here, it will be accepted with a log of the artist giving you the green light.
{~Final Notes~}
If you would like to add a website to the small list above that you feel is important, please send the admin, or this page, a note! A larger journal with support / helpful websites will be compiled once this one becomes overcrowded.
Thanks for stopping by and please mind the dust as things are continuously reorganized to better suit new additions. We are always looking to improve, learn, and progress! Send us your comments, concerns, advice, and questions. Stay safe out there!
