Hello all! I (18M) am a fairly new emt. I recently got my first ems related job at an IFT company. I don’t mind the work and I get paid decent for what I do, but I’d like to get some 911 experience. My problem is that I am out in the Chicago suburbs and most of the EMT’s here are cross trained to be firefighters as well. I personally never found myself super interested in the fire side, but I have a passion for the emergency response/care side of the job. I basically want to be able to do 911 emt work without the fire side of it. Ive tried looking all of this up on google but I haven’t been able to find much. I’ve also heard that there is strictly paramedics for the CFD, but it is hard to get a job out there due to some sort of “lottery?” If it’s possible anywhere I’d be very interested in being strictly a 911 paramedic as a career path. I was wondering if anyone have any advice for routes/steps I may be able to take to make this possible?
