Unless you're planning on being/volunteering as an EMT, there really is no reason to take an EMT level class. It often requires more time than most people with jobs and families typically have. Typically to join a SAR group you have to have some experience, they don't just take anyone.
First Responder and Wilderness First Responder are probably better options for most folks. Yes you'll learn a bit about GSWs.
That said being a volunteer EMT will gain you some invaluable experience applying your skills.
