Hi to all of the friends I have not met in SC yet. I am a PA paramedic with 9 yrs experience as a medic and a total of 19 yrs in EMS as a 1st Responder and EMT-B. Like several other people here I am looking to relocate to a coastal area of SC. Nothing against those in the mountains, I grew up at the Jersey shore and miss sand in my shoes. I have read the other posts with comments about different departments and I will be following up on those leads. I did apply to Horry County after meeting a FF/medic on a recent vacation. He said although Horry County requires everyone to be cross trained most of the young guys want the glory (?) and excitement on the fire side so I should be able to get as much time on an ambulance as I want. does anyone know of any other fire departments that would let me spend my time on the ambulance rather than requiring rotation on the fire apparatus. I love those people on that side of emergency services, it's just not my thing. Blood, guts, broken bones & holding little old ladies hands are what I live for.

No word yet from Beaufort... well I heard something but not yet clear on the details. I heard they made a decision on the 5 new employees but they have not yet been cleared by employment services. I was told they wont say who was chosen until they get the go from all ends. I'm still waiting. Im going to be going back to South Carolina to apply at Charleston County EMS. Thanks Bill!

You might be surprised as to how many Hispanics live in South Carolina! The growth ove the last 10 years has been impressive. Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue has one Hispanic employee and we'd love to have more, as it really helps to have someone on scene who is bilingual. Miami to SC culture shock? You bet! Good luck.
