It's in left field. They hiring now but it's a regular process. They aren't going just for medics. They certainly didn't just go ALS. -
I think there was a story that they are just trying to train thier people to a higher level of medComment

That must have been a rumor from years back when they temporarily staffed ambulances to help Medstar with response issues. That only occured for a few months and they used existing medics. They haven't been trying to get their guys anything above EMT. A pat on the back and "good luck" is the extent of it.
They will hire medics, but it's not anything that would help. They still hire un-certified and EMTs, FF-only, etc. etc.
A recent study came out that essentially says they're going to keep things the way they are for the foreseeable future.Comment
