I just took the EMT test there today. Did better than I thought I would do. They told me the next step is skills testing and an interview. The waiting game begins......also, any tips on the skills or interview questions would be greatly appreciated.

DANNO hi i just applied to AMR-Irwindale and was told to make an appt to come in and take the written test. i was hoping maybe you had some tips on what to expect on the written test, interview, and skills test?
thank you!
thank you!
Back in may i called them up to set up a test day, took about two weeks until i got to go in. Went in and passed the test. know your emt class book from start to finish, the test was no joke. Then waited a month to go in for skills and interview. The skills was like an interview where i was asked questions about trauma scenarios, what I would do on a syncopy patient, explain how the heart works and how blood is pump through out the body, explain the difference between copd and cva, and a hands on with op and np airways (indications + contrindications) and how to use them. I thought i did really well and the guy said i knew my stuff. Afterward i went down stairs for an interview but they said no interview that hr would contact me in 24-48 hours. Waited about two weeks for a thanks but no thanks email and that my test was good for 6 months..
It sucked cus i really wanted the job but im with a different 911 company now so i cant complain
good luck!SOSummers7

Great info guys! I am going into AMR Irwindale tomorrow for my written test. Super nervous. Working on an IFT company for 5 months has made me forget a lot. -__- Studying up like crazy for the past couple weeks. Feeling confident but worried of course. haha Any last minute tips for the written?
Yup. I'd say a lot more than a handful

Got my Skills tomorrow, this forum helps, Thanks guys!
Care now runs 18 out of 19 cities in OrCo for 911, Shoreline being the other 911 provider (in house with OCFA in Westminster). Doctors and Emergency are still "technically" running 911 as far as I'm aware in a couple of cities, but I'm fairly sure Care is taking over the Doctors contract as of August 1st, 2015 and have already taken over Emergency's contract.
As for LaCo, do not quote me on this as I only really work the area when I pick up extra shifts and they're IFT's, but I'm fairly certain Mckormic and Care run the majority of LA, with Ameri-Care being the other provider. I'm sure there's more to it than that.
Doctor's retained only Laguna Beach. Emergency kept Brea and YL. Westminster is Shoreline. Everything else is now Care

AmeriCare only runs 911 in one city in LA County, and that's Santa Monica.
Out of the 7 EOAs for the County, AMR has 3 of them, everything north of and including Santa Clarita (from what I hear, Lancaster and Palmdale get pretty busy) as well as the southern half of the San Gabriel Valley. That includes El Monte, Temple City, Rosemead, City of Industry, La Puente, Walnut, Diamond Bar and I'm probably forgetting one or two.
Westmed/McCormick has 2 EOAs, basically South Bay area. (Malibu, Torrance, Inglewood, South Gate, Carson, Palos Verdes, and some more in that area)
Schaefer has 1 EOA, the northern half of the San Gabriel Valley, Monrovia, Azusa, Glendora, Pomona, etc.
Care has the last EOA, which is the eastern part of the County, Whittier, Montebello, Norwalk, Signal Hill, etc.
I'm attaching a map from the LEMSA website that shows where all the EOAs are for who (all the white space is handled by the local FD themselves)

Looking to transfer to LA. Would like 911. Currently AMR. I don't mind transfer or changing. Who runs 911 close to Burbank? Should I go to San Gabriel or Santa Clarita ? Who pays more? Please help.
HR sucks and I can't get ahold of anyone for AMR.

Where are you at now for AMR? Close to Burbank would prob be Santa Clarita since you could stay on the 5 to get there to many of the stations.
