Becoming an EMT-1/Paramedic

Becoming an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-1) is one very effective way to prepare for a career in the fire service. An EMT is the first step towards becoming a Paramedic and is an essential part of the day-to-day activities of every Firefighter.

Upon successful completion of the training, you will be qualified for the State Certification. You will also be eligible for employment with an ambulance provider, hospital emergency departments, and clinics. This is an excellent way of getting that first hand exposure and experience that you will need to become a successful Firefighter.
