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.
