I took EMT training decades ago. At community college. I never became an EMT - just wanted to have knowledge/skills. The course is open to all.
Most cities/towns require all firefighters to be certified EMT's.
If you live on an island might be a good idea to set up a plan for such emergencies.
Might have been better/quicker to make a splint - then take injured to nearest main land dock - and have ambulance - waiting - to transport to hospital.
All island folk should have an emergency plan. If others on island - get together.
