This week, Dawson County Fire & Emergency Services is conducting an internal Hazardous Materials Operations course for three Paramedics Only (PMOs) and two Firefighter/Paramedics as part of their continued fire service training and professional development.

DCES offers a unique career opportunity for certified Paramedics to join the department as PMOs and complete their NPQ Firefighter I & II certifications while working full-time on shift. This allows personnel to expand their knowledge, skills, and operational capabilities while continuing to serve the community in their primary EMS roles.

Through continued investment in training and professional development, DCES remains committed to building a versatile, highly trained workforce prepared to meet the needs of Dawson County.
