In addition, we are reviewing our current career structure, as since COVID it does not support our departments vacancies or 27,021 growth. Prioritizing the importance of achieving paramedic certification amongst ALL OTHER CALLS our firefighters is our best path to growing the EMS division. CCFD will furnish the cost and time spent by our firefighters to achieve our goal of 50% Paramedics. SNV only has one paramedic school that is structured to support on duty education. CCFD will find a hybrid Paramedic school to host our own school that is conducive to our firefighter’s schedule. CCFD has an opportunity to garner interest in Emergency Medical Services by working with the County, Private Ambulance and Educational institutions to develop a career path early for graduating high school and college students within the Southern Nevada Valley. Focusing on these opportunities are vital to support CCFD in future years to come.
