EMS Board Meeting Had Been Set For Tuesday
The Baltimore City Fire Department has voluntarily suspended its authority to train Emergency Medical Services personnel at the city fire academy.
The decision, announced in a news release Monday, came in the wake of a cheating scandal and several other problems uncovered by the state agency that certifies the academy.
A state EMS board meeting that had been scheduled for Tuesday in connection with the issue has been canceled.
"I understand that this was a difficult decision for the Baltimore City Fire Department," said Donald DeVries Jr., the chairman of the state EMS board. "And I appreciate the department's commitment to providing the highest quality Emergency Medical Services to the citizens of Baltimore."

Maybe the Salisbury Fire Department will surrender it's wannabe fire chief. Se what happens whey they appoint a chief with no EMS experience. Makes you wonder if EMS should be separate from the fire department.
