“This is an extraordinary occasion because it marks a significant milestone in their careers and showcases their dedication to serving their communities,” said Chief of EMS Operations Michael Fields. “These members have chosen a career that demands them to put the needs of others ahead of their own. To rush into dangerous and hazardous circumstances without fear and deliver lifesaving treatment under pressure where every second matters.”
