Cary Area EMS currently staffs 3 paramedic level ambulances, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  Normally, two ambulances run out of our main station, and another truck runs out of Morrisville Fire Station 2.  Our workforce includes full-time, casual-time, and volunteer EMT’s.  There are currently 19 full-time field personnel, and 2 administrative staff members. Cary EMS prides itself on having the best staff, great equipment, and a very competitive benefits package for its full-time employees.  Many of our full-time staff began as volunteers and were hired on when they decided to pursue a career in EMS.  Additionally, several of our members have been with us for greater than 10 years, and even some for 15 years and beyond, demonstrating our commitment to employee satisfaction and retention.

Full-time shift persons work a rotating 24-hour shift.  A, B, and C shifts each work every other day for five days, and then are off for four days.  Administrative staff typically work Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm.
