Anyone know how it is to work for Emergency ambulance?

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone ever worked for emergency ambulance in orange county? Just wondering if it is a good company to work for. I currently do IFTs for A private company and I know emergency does 911 for three cities around my house so right there is good enough for me.

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone ever worked for emergency ambulance in orange county? Just wondering if it is a good company to work for. I currently do IFTs for A private company and I know emergency does 911 for three cities around my house so right there is good enough for me.

talked to an emt that worked for them. just some stuff i learned from him about the company:

-best odds apply in person NOT online.
-hire in as driver OR attendant ONLY he said. you have better odds applying for driver they don't hire much attendants. he said they seem to always be hiring drivers though.
-4 911 cars 24hr shifts (they can be pulled for IFTs)
-only the brea 911 rig cannot be pulled for IFTs what so ever
-approx 4 day IFT cars that can cover 911 cars (can't remember if they were 8 or 10 hr cars)

that's all we had time to talk about. seems like a small operation even the IFT side of things.

hope it helps and for the most part hope its accurate. just restating it was a conversation i had with a current employee of the company approx last fall 2010.

So, Brea2 won't get pulled and end up at Saddleback for an IFT at 0230? That's good. I always felt bad for those guys.
