BVFD Team -
The BVFD proudly announces the advancement of Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Rebeca Galisteo who has now earned Officer in Charge (OIC) status on Ambulance 715.
Congratulations to EMS Galisteo who joined the BVFD in November of 2018 and has been balancing family and career demands while successfully completing over a dozen public safety training programs, including:
- Maryland Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course
- International Trauma Life Support (ITLS)
- Hazardous Materials - First Responder Operations
- Protective Envelope & Foam
- NIMS IS100 Incident Command System
- NIMS IS700 National Incident Management System
- EEO/AA and the Law
- Cultural Diversity
- Blood Borne Pathogens
- Radio Operations
- MOSH Training
- MDC Operations
- eMEDS Patient Care Reporting
- Firehouse Statistical Reporting
Even after all of the academy training, EMT Galisteo completed many steps before taking command of a BVFD Ambulance. EMT Galisteo successfully completed a series of comprehensive written and practical in-station examinations. After completing all tests, EMT Galisteo rode “Charge” under the evaluation of an experienced Charge EMT for a series of evaluation calls. This process is designed to allow the EMT to demonstrate knowledge and ability in the field, before being permitted to be in charge of an Ambulance and crew in any situation.
The BVFD congratulates EMT Galisteo for completing this rigorous process and earning Charge status. Your dedication to serving our community is greatly appreciated.
One more Aide advancement will be announced this week, now that the MFRI, IECS log jam has cleared.
