My job duties included working as a volunteer fire fighter and paramedic. It was my duty to respond to the station for 911 emergencies either for the ambulance or the fire apparatus. I also worked part time/prn shifts as a paramedic on the ambulance. Monthly education for the fire and medical service was apart of my responsibility as well as continuing education.
