Paramedicmike, when were you a firefighter?!

My very first job after paramedic school mandated fire training and my job title was "Paramedic/FF". To be fair, and in the effort of full disclosure, it has been many, many moons. Every job since then has been single role paramedic and I've been much happier with that arrangement for a variety of reasons.

I work currently as a single role 911 only paramedic for a county owned level I trauma center EMS that runs dual paramedic in 27 transport vehicles used by 135 paramedics serving about 800,000 residents and 1.2 mil people during the weekdays. Our last UHU i saw was 0.43 but we are working that down.

I also am a Paid on-call firefighter in the 'burb i live in and am one of two medic we have of the 40ish firefighters we have.

Other previous roles were

Paramedic/emergency communications specialist

EMT basic

Not too bad for 9 years of doing this...

I work in a public provincial service as a Primary Care Paramedic (Think EMT-I for SOP). I also recently finished an EMT-P (Advanced Care Paramedic) program so I will move into an ALS ground ambulance position after I complete registration exams.
