Ride Alongs In Phnx Area

[EMT104Girl]

I Just Finished Up My EMT104 Class At Phoenix College This Summer. My NREMT Is This Thursday. I Am Super Nervous Yet Excited. My Only Concern Is That I Would Like To Do Some Ride Alongs In My Area. I Am In The Southern Phoenix Region (Baseline). Does Anyone Know Of Any Stations That Do Ride Alongs. I Can Travel To A Different Part Of Phoenix If Need Be Though.

Doing rides will in no way help you pass the NREMT.

I want to do ride alongs to gain experience. I just threw in that my NREMT is this thursday.

If you do a ride along, ask to be placed with an FTO. Ride along = networking.

Call any station in the Valley area and speak to the station Captain. Tell him/her who you are and that you'd like to do a ride along. They work 24 hour shifts with PFD so you're options are pretty wide open.

As a Canadian, I've always been welcomed with open arms by Phoenix Fire when I ride.
