San Bernardino Air Medic

Wow. It's hard to believe this county won't even staff their helicopter with paid personnel.
 
Don't know if the volly positions still exist, but SBCoFD is now staffing Air Rescue 6 with a Fire Medic

Did a quick search on here turned up nothing. Anybody have more information on this? Requirements? Competitive volunteer position? There's very little info and I just sent off an email to them so if need be I'll update here. Thanks

Anyone know how long the shifts are or where are they based out of? I know LASD has volunteers on their search and rescue teams. I don't think any of them fly on Air-5.
