  Definition
  <br/>

 <strong>
  Distinguishing Characteristics EMT
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 This is a fully skilled, journey classification requiring the ability to perform the full range of duties that may be assigned to positions in the class.

It is frequently performed under hazardous conditions requiring rapid response and strenuous physical exertion. Major elements of the work are participation in responses of emergency situations, in service training, first aid, and communications equipment. Work is performed under close or general supervision depending on the nature of the assignment. A firefighter is required to exercise initiative and discretion when faced with emergency conditions.
