SW MI | Depends on where he ends up. Our department is combination career and paid on call members. Career are required to be FF/Paramedic, paid on call FF 2 at a minimum. We are fire based EMS. If an EMS call is dispatched, we hop on the ambulance. If a fire call gets dispatched, we hop on the apparatus. I’m biased but if the municipality can support Fire based EMS dollar-wise, I think you get the best of worlds.
If he’s considering this as a career, many departments will foot the bill for Medic training and pay for time spent in class. A lot of private EMS services are doing the same. May be worth looking around. | |
