VIDEO: Ambulance sirens and flashing lights means fire and rescue crews are rushing to aid people in pain or panic. Thatโs the place to be, for 18 year-old Raygan Latimer. Latimer has taken three dual-credit classes to get an EMT certification while attending Whitewright High School. She says itโs not easy work but itโs all worth all the hours she and all EMTs put into the job. โItโs not an easy job to do and itโs definitely a lot of work with the medications and bones and everything you have to learn,โ said Latimer. โAs an EMT I had to do a 12 hour shift in the hospital and three 12 hour shifts on the box.โ โOn the boxโ refers to hours spent in training on the back of an ambulance.
