Rescue Swimmers were EMTs
She's not. She's a paramedic who does clinic, and goes out on SAR's. No rappelling for the paramedics, strictly medical care. It looks like a cush gig though. There used to be a show on TWC of all channels that touched on this. They staffed with paramedics when needed, or available. I'm sure the OP can elaborate, though.
That said, I would have rather been a rescue swimmer in the Bering Sea. That there seems like a whole lotta fun.
I believe this video isn't about rescue swimmers, but sounds more like a SAR operation thats a pilot program(?) in Alaska. Or maybe she's not a rescue swimmer but flies along with them on ops to provide a higher level of care?
Looks like one of the best damn jobs you could ask for, but you stick me on any mountain and I am happy.
we are one of the last bases in the region to still have a BK117, perfect for SAR but it will never happen.
Why not? Someone has to be able to drag those Southern Illinois rednecks out of the tricky spots.I would love a job at Travis County Starflight. We joke about throwing a winch on the helicopter since we are one of the last bases in the region to still have a BK117, perfect for SAR but it will never happen.

Get paid to be a educated redneck? Damn right.I would do some sort of remote area SAR in a freaking heartbeat.

Arent there only like 500 paramedics on the AK registry in its history? I recall AK having a weird set up with their certification levels. Its not surprising that CG would put medics up there, they are probably the highest level of care for hundreds of miles
