EMT Wong to Charge Status



The BVFD proudly announces the advancement of Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Myles Wong to Charge Status on Ambulance 715..


EMT Wong joined the BVFD during a global pandemic in June of 2020.  Over the past 13 months he has completed multiple specialized training programs to ensure he possesses all required skills:


- Maryland Emergency Medical Technician Course

- Hazardous Materials - First Responder Operations

- Protective Envelope & Foam

- NIMS IS100 Incident Command System

- NIMS IS700 National Incident Management System

- Blood Borne Pathogens

- Radio Operations

- MDC Operations

- eMEDS Patient Care Reporting

- Firehouse Statistical Reporting

- EEO/AA and the Law

- Cultural Diversity


Even after all of the academy training, EMT Wong completed many steps before taking command of a BVFD Ambulance.  EMT Wong successfully completed a series of comprehensive written and practical in-station examinations.  After completing all tests, EMT Wong 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 Wong for completing this challenging process and earning Charge status during a pandemic!  Your dedication to serving our community is greatly appreciated.


We have a number of EMTs working towards Aide status currently, please continue to help them advance.
