“We’re extremely pleased that we could hire and soon will deploy 11 new EMTs,” said Jay Smith, Rural/Metro’s Buffalo general manager. “First and foremost, we’re involved in serving the residents of our towns and cities with nationally recognized emergency services. But it’s nice to be able to hire local people in new jobs as well.”
Rural/Metro has about 500 employees regionally, with more than 400 deployed in the field. The company provides pre-hospital medical services for residents of Buffalo, West Seneca, Cheektowaga, Niagara Falls, Hamburg, East Aurora, Alden, Evans and Springville.
