I'm new to the forum and I have prior experience in public safety (police) and I've noticed there doesn't appear to much money to be made in EMS outside of being employed by a Fire Department.
I have a few questions since I'm not well versed in this area. I do know that I have zero interest in fire, not that there is anything wrong with it, I just don't have any interest in becoming a Fire Fighter.
Are all EMT-P's in a Fire Department crossed trained in Fire Fighting or can you just work as an EMT-P at the FD?
Another question I have is what seems to be the trend in the EMS field in regards to contracting out services to a private vendor? Is this happening more and more or do you see these government positions as stable?
