PITTSBURGH — 2025 kicked off with Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS recruit class 24-04 graduation. Over the past month, these three paramedics and EMTs have honed their skills through advanced training in critical care, technical rescue, EVOC/TIM, water rescue, active threats, and hazardous materials.

Already certified EMS providers, this training prepares them for roles as rescue paramedics.

EMS Chief Amera Gilchrist awarded their badges, marking the start of their field training.
