EMS in and around Phoenix, AZ

[fiznat]

Can anyone give me a quick update about what EMS is like in and around Phoenix AZ? I may be moving there for school and would like to be able to work part-time in the area if it is at all possible. I am a NREMT registered paramedic with a good amount of experience, looking for solid 911 volume. I'm not a firefigher.

Thanks guys!

I can't help with Phoenix. Just curious what you're going to school for?

And I say good on you for doing it, too!

Medical school. Been working towards this goal for a looooooong time now (almost 6 years after graduating college). Finally starting to see some results. Application season isn't over yet though so I'm just feeling out my options.

Can anyone help me with AZ??

Ok, for the Phoenix area you have 2 companies. Southwest Ambulance and PMT. I worked at Southwest for a couple of years and I feel that the are the better company to work for. Both companies you start off working a IF ride and then you can bid onto a EMS ride as you gain seniority. If you need more info please feel free to e-mail me at charles353@yahoo.com.
