EMS Advancement - EMT Toni Ann Wiggan to Driver Status

 


BVFD Team -


Congratulations to EMT Toni Ann Wiggan, our latest Emergency Medical Technician to earn Emergency Driver Status on our Ambulance and Medic Unit.

EMT Wiggan joined the BVFD in August of 2017 and has been taking training classes non-stop to earn her status as EMT in Charge and now as an Emergency Driver.  Most recently, EMT Wiggan completed the County's comprehensive Emergency Vehicle Operators Course at the Training Academy.

EMT Wiggan worked through the BVFD cognitive and practical examinations (on our Ambulance, emergency laws, area streets, and hospital running routes). The final training phase requires a candidate to demonstrate proficiency driving on numerous emergency calls under the evaluation of a trained/experienced Ambulance Driver. 

EMT Wiggan drove on a wide variety of emergency calls, including hospital transports to meet the final requirements and earn Emergency Driver status this evening. The BVFD salutes EMT Wiggan’s hard work and dedication. 


Thank you for all you do each week to keep us growing and better serving our community.

A word of thanks to everyone on the Team working to advance our personnel through the training steps, we currently have over a dozen members working towards Aide and/or Driver status.  Keep it up, together we all grow.

Tami
