Proposal expands fire based EMS to boost on duty medics
The plan offers civil service promotions for health employees to attend fire training while continuing EMS work for those not taking the course. Increasing EMS trained paramedics from 18 to 30 enlarges on duty responders, improving readiness for large scale emergencies and reducing overtime and burnout from staffing gaps.
