Congratulations Zach!

Please join us in congratulating C-Shift Firefighter Zach Perry for becoming a NREMT-PARAMEDIC

Becoming a paramedic requires, on average, TWO YEARS of unpaid school, hundreds of hours of unpaid clinical hours, and is typically conducted through a college program.

L2499 thanks you for your dedication to bettering yourself for us, our citizens, and our city.

Congratulations FF/MEDIC Perry!

No such thing as "Down Time" for Firefighters. So far today there have been 2 reports of structure fires, 2 Fire Alarms, and multiple medical calls. Thankfully, all have been minor incidents; however, it requires a lot of manpower and resources to respond to all as if they are serious, dangerous or traumatic.
