Can one be paramedic w/o being a FF?

by Cathy Brown

 

Is it possible to be one without being the other?
In Lake Charles, we have FF/EMTs, which is a must, and then we have our separate ambulance services with EMTs and Paramedics, also in Arkansas, it was set up that way. Me, I hate fire, and I hate heights, so I wouldn't want to be a firefighter. I just was wondering, because I'm writing a story about that, where I become a civilian EMT-B, nothing more. I just help J & R out, and when they get there, they take over, and I just bring them up to speed on what went down and all that, and they take it from there."
Does that sound about what an EMT-B would do?
