Hi everyone,
I'm currently an EMT in the greater San Diego area with around 8 month's experience as a EMT-B doing IFT, also a Medic In the National Guard. I've looked around for other opportunities such working for Rural Metro and Mercy Ambulance who work 9-11 contracts.
I'm right at that point where I should be taking either a Fire Academy or going to a Paramedic Prep program. But I wanted to gain the experience of working within a 9-11 environment. I understand it's a perishable skill not to use, I feel that I am lacking in my use of them due the IFT general transport environment.
Question is should I bother seeking out bridge type of environment or go straight to school?
