Does anyone know any good ambulance companies near Santa Cruz county? I’m willing to travel over a county and I’ve got some companies in mind, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask y’all. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’ll soon be able to get into IFT and I was just wondering what the best path for becoming a Fire Fighter Paramedic is. I’ve been told to go through ambulance work into medical school and THEN go into Fire. I’m pretty sure that’s the easiest way, but I have an opportunity to get into Fire academy next year. I just don’t know where I’ll be by the time academy is over and if I can be with the department that would pay for it. I’m guessing I’m asking if it’s worth it to do academy while working in an ambulance or if it’s smarter to focus on ambulance work. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
