Performs responsible technical and protective service work in the field of fire suppression, prevention, emergency medical services, and associated emergency services. This Fire and Rescue Recruit III position is intended for an employee hired to fill the role of Firefighter/AEMT who holds current Advanced EMT (AEMT) certification but does not possess the required Fire Fighting certifications, at the time of appointment. Upon entry, the incumbent participates in a structured probationary training and credentialing process designed to develop the knowledge, skills, abilities, certifications, and operational competencies required to function as a Firefighter/AEMT with Caroline County Fire-Rescue & Emergency Management. Work is evaluated through observation, reports, conferences, completion of assigned training, successful attainment of required certifications, demonstrated competency, and compliance with department policies and procedures. The duties/responsibilities of the Firefighter/AEMT are distinguished from those of the Firefighter/EMT in that the Firefighter/AEMT position is expected to maintain certification in advanced life support operations to the AEMT level and, upon department release, serve in a lead capacity at the scene of EMS incidents.
