Five certified Paramedics and three Emergency Medical Technicians have successfully completed recruit school after a month of training. This achievement comes from Recruit Class 24-02 of the Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS.

The training program focused on advancing their existing certifications and included topics such as medical critical care, responses to highly infectious diseases and hazardous materials, technical and water rescue, and active threat response.
