EMS Advancement - EMT Jamie Calderon to Driver Status

BVFD Team -

Congratulations to EMT Jamie Calderon, our most recent Emergency Medical Technician to earn Emergency Driver Status on our Ambulance and Medic Unit.

EMT Calderon joined the BVFD in December of 2016 and has been taking training classes non-stop to earn her status as EMT in Charge and now Driver. Most recently, Jamie completed the County's comprehensive Emergency Vehicle Operators Course at the Training Academy.

EMT Calderon worked through the BVFD cognitive and practical examinations (on our EMS vehicles, 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 Brooks drove on a wide variety of emergency calls, including hospital transports to meet the final requirements and earn Emergency Driver status this evening. 

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