No, there are a ton of bases closing. I've heard that Seals and Care are holding walk in interviews for RM employees, but I don't work for any of these companies.

Pay is crap in Indiana if you're not fire based. When I was in the IEMS process last fall it was a $1.50 pay cut from my dispatch job.

The article states they have seen six figure losses operating in Indiana. They have several small crew bases across the area, and to my knowledge most of them operate independently, not sharing personnel or equipment. I could be wrong on that, I've never worked for them, but I have plenty of...

They don't hire medics. You can still be hired as them, but it will be as an EMT, with possible promotion. Stay away from rural metro, they are leaving Indiana, in the news today.

What happens when you get tickets? Your car insurance goes up. Same thing for an EMS company (or any buisness for that matter) they will send your info off to their insurance company when you apply. When I did hiring we had a point scale, compare your driving record to a chart they...

In some instances. Depends on your insurablity. Many places are hesitant to hire an EMT-B that can't drive for a few reasons. The biggest one being if your a P you can always work the back no matter the type of call. Not much room out there for a Basic who cant drive.
