We’re excited to announce that this year’s Keynote Speaker and Special Guest is Randolph
Mantooth, well known for his portrayal of
Firefighter/Paramedic Johnny Gage on the
1970’s TV Drama Emergency. Mantooth has
been a popular speaker at EMS and Fire Service events since the early 1980’s. Don’t miss
the opportunity to hear his inspiring presentation that reminds us why we do what we do.
