So, you think you might want to be on the ambulance service and you’re wondering how to get started... well you’ve come to the right place!
Before you get started you should know a few things. First, to become an EMT you will need to go through about 130 hours of training and pass a written and a practical test. The Preston Area Ambulance Service will pay for your training, but will require a years worth of service in exchange.
Once a member there is ongoing education held one Wednesday night a month, and there are mandatory on call weekends.
When you have decided to become an EMT for the Preston Area Ambulance contact one of the officers (preferably the training officer) or city hall and we’ll find the next area training session and get back to you (send an email to contactus@prestonems.org and your email will go to the current officers). In addition you can check out the EMSRB website or RCTC’s website for when their training sessions are starting.
Finally, if you have a valid EMT license for Minnesota and wish to join the service, please contact the director or one of the schedulers and we’ll work with you to get you on call as soon as possible.
