Please help us in congratulating Firefighter/Paramedic Will Mason on his successful completion of Paramedic School!

Not only did Will complete paramedic school, but he also maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning a Certificate of Academic Excellence. Over the last year, Will has devoted countless hours to completing prerequisites, classroom instruction, clinical rotations, and field training. To say we are proud is truly an understatement.

Will has already taken and successfully passed the National Registry of EMT-Paramedic exam and is currently awaiting his Kentucky paramedic license so he can officially begin practicing as a paramedic.

Congratulations, Firefighter/Paramedic Will Mason! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to the profession have truly paid off.

We would also like to recognize Firefighter/Paramedic Andrew Kannady for receiving the Field Preceptor Award. Firefighter/Paramedic Kannady is an outstanding preceptor who genuinely enjoys instructing and mentoring new EMTs and Paramedics. His dedication to teaching and helping others grow makes him a tremendous asset to our department.

Congratulations, Firefighter/Paramedic Kannady, on this well-deserved recognition!
