This completely depends on the Fire Department. A lot of Fire Departments in the United States require that their firefighters are EMT-Paramedics. While some only require First Responder training. Some Fire Departments also have ambulances staffed by EMTs and Paramedics that can transport patients to the hospital.

How would you know if you would make a good paramedic?
TAKE AN EMT-1 CERTIFICATION CLASS. IT'S ONE SEMESTER & LOTS OF FUN. THEN VOLUNTEER FOR YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, IF THEY HAVE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. OR GET A JOB AS A FIREFIGHTER/EMT, OR AN EMT WITH AN AMBULANCE COMPANY. GET SOME EXPERIENCE. YOU WILL FIND OUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO COMMIT TO A PARAMEDIC PROGRAM, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE, INTENSIVE, AND TAKES OVER YOUR LIFE FOR A YEAR OR MORE.
Do I have to take a certification test before I can work as a paramedic after EMT school?
After EMT school you will need to take and pass a certification test before you can work as a paramedic. It is like a final. You need to prove you are trained and able to do the job.

It depends from state to state, but most requires you to work a full year as an EMT Basic before you can become an EMT Paramedic. You need to take the EMT Paramedic training and certification.
What is a fire ems?
it is a person that fights fires and does medical paramedic skills EDIT: EMS means Emergency Medical Services. Does not have to be paramedic, can be an EMT which is a less trained level.
What is the difference between emt and paramedic?
Let's break this down to the US version. There's are 3 levels of pre-hospital care in the US. The EMT system in the US is changing, it used to be: EMT-B(Basic), EMT-I(Intermediate) and EMT-P(Paramedic). This system is changing in most states to EMR, EMT, and EMT-P. The EMT is the mid level of pre-hospital care. This level usually requires about a year to a year and a half of college education and training. An EMT-I(EMT) can do some more advanced skills then the EMT-B(EMR) such as basic cardiac monitoring, cricothyrotomy and more medications. ALL levels of pre-hospital care are considered EMTs, but only the EMT-P is a Paramedic. The Paramedic is the most advanced level of EMT and requires about 2 years or college education and training. The Paramedic may do everything the EMT can do plus intubation, 12 lead ECG, administer 20 medications(depends on protocol) and more. Paramedics are Advanced Life Support(ALS) providers, the EMT-B is Basic Life Support(BLS) and the EMT-I is sort of a mix. Hopefully this helped answer your question. It's OK to call a Paramedic an EMT but you can't call a EMT a Paramedic.
