I believe LA City would sub it to a staffing company first as they depend on the income. They are talking about downgrading more and more BLS calls to BLS only units (still LA City). They have used us for back up recently which has been unheard of ever before. There is no way they will give...

The fire contracts for LA County Fire come up in 2015. The faces and ownership of many of the companies have changed. Off shore oil owns Care now (Falck), Geber sold to Falck, McCormick was in the process of selling to Falck and it was set off course. Schaefer is solid in their areas and...

AmeriCare has a lifting test and a trunk torque test to ensure you have a healthy back to be able to lift without getting injured. It is done by a doctor in his office not in the interview process. It is based on height and weight for percentages of torque you produce so you should pass if you...

Sorry I disappoint you guys so much. I am not sure who Gomer is but I do believe they are special to someone and probably shows your care for other humans. I am thinking that you guys should open the perfect company as you know how to run a company far better than me. I have not found a way...

Well I guess you can agree with him but that doesn’t make you right either. I try to avoid code 3 as much as possible due to the risk and dangers involved with it. However at times we need to make sure we are able to have the depth required to meet any need in our EOA and at times that...

Our Medics that fit the prequalification's make about $350 per 24 hour shift (paid hourly). Some prefer IFTs. There are time we receive ALS 911 responses from various departments. We are the only company that I know of (and the FDs I deal with) that have both 911 contracts and that run dual...

I am not sure where you get your information from but I get mine from the chief of Santa Monica and/or the other brass of the department and not a disgruntled EMT that may have been terminated or didn't pass our hiring standards. I assure you that as of today Santa Monica is working on...

Mike S Well I do appreciate that. Please consider us. I would not say negative things about the other companies you mention either. With any of the 911 companies or CAAS companies (or better both) your just not going to find a bad company. I understand there will always be frustrated...

Mike Summers CEO PAY: Due to the class action suit that most all companies got hit with we have changed the style of how we pay. The end result is actually more money in the EMTs pockets. We did not change paramedics, RTs, or nurses. EMTs are now paid for their CE's, uniform...

Mike Summers CEO I hardly ever have time to get on these sights but a EMT told me I should read it. So I thought I would respond to a bunch of incorrect information about AmeriCare. I personally had shoulder reconstruction surgery and have not been out taking pictures of anything lately...
