If you have common sense you should pass.I got invited to move on to take the written test for the EMT AO spot. Does anyone know what topics are on the test?
If you have common sense you should pass.
All I know is no benefits and less pay than AMR good luck!

Last I heard which was granted a while back when it started, no benefits. You should come off alot nicer for mistaken information and share corrected information than look like an indecent human being. A master is one who learns from failure one who is not a master repeats mistakes.You really should do a few minutes of research before speaking poorly of a position to avoid looking stupid. The EMT AO spot is full time with superior benefits and a pension. The pay is comparable to any 24hr rate that an EMT makes in SoCal.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department is accepting applications for Ambulance Operator-Paramedic. This is a full-time, non-represented position with excellent benefits; overtime eligible after 40 hours/week.
Note: NON-REPRESENTED with county benefits and pension.
24-Hour Shift Rate: $11.98 - $16.51
Hourly rate based on 24-Hour shift; overtime pay after 40 hours; most assignments are 56-hour work-weeks.
Next Salary Increase in July of 2017.
They are on the 4/6 kelly schedule except for the yucca ambulances which are on the 48/96. All ambulances are out of fire stations, not ssm.
How many stations are the AO's deployed out of now?I logged in this morning to a wonderful target safety update telling me I will no longer be able to intubate peds or use procainamide or verapamil on october 15th. I suppose the only positive is we are now being told to not use lsb at all except for extrication and to immediately remove someone from it.
So Baker Ambulance is no more, huh?How many stations? 9
That is the long term goal
No, AMR has 201 rights and the contract for transport and until that changes they will transport all calls in the city. The only real change in 201 rights recently was Baker Ambulance ceasing their operation in baker and turning it over to the county which now staffs a Medic Engine and AO ambulance out of FS53.
Yeah, the geographical size and layout of that county never ceases to amaze me.Baker ambulance exists in their namesake for now, barely surviving off running transfers from CRMC and la paz regional. They have been losing money for a bit and entered into a contract with the county last year to subsidize their operation in Baker to the tune of 10k+ a month. Apparently that was not enough and they ceased operations out there. The is talk that within the next year or two the whole operation will cease to be presumably turned over to the county, their EOA covers most of the 95 south to basically the 62 including the community of Havasu Landing as well as out near Ludlow on the 40.
The baker area sees an incredible amount of high mechanism trauma and death. These are serious calls with critical patients where manpower and resources are limited. Yes air ambulances are frequently used, mercy, careflight and even native sometimes get in on the mix depending on whose available and weather.

A former paramedic trainee of mine left here to work for SBCoFD as a AO-paramedic not too long ago. It seems like a legit set up that they got going on out there.
ICEMA truly is a hidden gem of an EMS system in California, IMO; bonus points for the pension.
Do they push for, or hire paramedic intent of crossing over into suppression, or are they fairly open to, and accepting of paramedics sticking it out on the box as long as they wish?
Just curious, why would you think this makes a change for the worse?ICEMA is great but slowly changing for the worse, peds intubation is going.
