"As a firefighter/emt-b, I make more than a medic and this would cost the city less money"

Typical....

Why pay a firefighter/basic 50k per year to run medicals all day when we could pay medics 35k per year while we get to sit on our ass all day at the huge new expensive fire station and train to fight that 1 real "FIRE" we will get this month.

Hell we could even put these "medic's" in these things called ambulance's that cost a lot less then our million dollar truck that gets 4 miles to the gallon and has about 10 total hours on the water pump. !!!

Your right....You just solved your cities EMS problem.

Sounds like a great fire department idea to me.

This is a horrible contract for ems....and im only on page 15 which states that the city will create a postion for the city and you have to pay 120,500 dollars to staff it? plus 90k each for city fire medics. and this is a 6 ambulance contract!! holy shit.

look at this bullshit.
