Martin Lesperance leads an energetic life as a
firefighter/paramedic, safety trainer, author and father.
A full-time firefighter/paramedic, Martin has been involved in emergency medical services for the past 17 years. Throughout this time, he has also designed safety programs for several major companies, specializing in first aid and
emergency care, and instructed in the Emergency Medical Technician program at the Southern Alberta Institute of
Technology. Martin owns Inter Provincial Safety Resources Ltd., a safety-training company that has trained
