Danville school director Dawn Koons-Gill, an EMT since 1991, cites a personal push to join EMS after witnessing a fatal accident. Statewide EMS recruitment faces training costs and wages gaps, with projected growth as aging populations increase demand. Officials blame funding, certification hurdles, and low salaries for staffing shortages across providers and fire departments.
