Edit to ask if BC has any paramedic companies out of fire houses or are they completely separate?

I’m specifically worried about the professional working relationship between paramedics and other emergency services, as well as their image in the public’s eye. With the paramedic shortage, I just want to know exactly what I’m looking into. Since I’m about a year out from making the move.

For context, I’ve been out of practice for a while and I’ve been working through JIBC to become a medic in BC (looking for mostly rural to start, money isn’t an issue).

I’m curious to hear from paramedics, firefighters, police, etc!

Quebec is a horrible place and I don’t ever want to put a uniform on for this province again :)!

So give me the good and the bad. I’m also open to private messages for any privacy concerns or verification. Thanks!
