Hi everyone,
I'm a new EMT-B and am looking for my first job. I've called a private ambulance company here and they asked me to submit an application...easy enough.
However, I, like most EMTs, am interested in working for a fire dept. Most of the ones around me hire paramedics, though. Is it even worth it for me to inquire or apply? Will I look stupid for applying to fire depts. as an EMT? Also, what is the general process? I thought I could apply directly to the fire department, but my sister said that she thought it would have to go through the City. In either case, would it be considered okay to call the fire depts. directly and ask to apply? I don't want to start off on the wrong foot and this is unfamiliar territory, as I used to be an office worker before this.
Thank you for any input and advice.
