Last I heard we were looking to hire around six, but may be more once the retirements hit. The MO FF1 & FF2 may be able to be waived with other state cert for FF1 & FF2. They may be able to get you reciprocity. If you are not a medic yet, the city will pay for all of your paramedic training. If you are on shift during one of your classes or clinicals, you will be paid regular pay while you attend class. I think most of the paramedic class ambulance clinicals are done with KCFD (MAST). Here is the info:
