An update on Chris.
He is still volunteering with Arvada Fire Department and things are going well. They just bought him all new bunker gear which is very exciting! They're also going to be putting him through an FI (field instruction) program where they train him to be paramedic volunteer. In the past volunteer paramedics could only work as EMTs. So we're excited about that!
Chris is still in the training program and has a couple more weeks to go. It's been pretty time consuming. He volunteers a 24 hour shift every week, and sometimes two shifts in a week. This of course is on top of working 36 hours one week and 48 the next at his paramedic job with AMR. We'll all be glad when the training is over. At that point, if he passes he will almost definitely be hired next October. And if not, then he'll also be done volunteering with Arvada. So keep him in your prayers!
