Chino– Chino Valley Fire District Firefighter/Paramedics, Andrew Simpson and Justin Nuber, earned

Bronze medals during the annual CFED Paramedic Competition, held May 18 through 21.

The annual event brings together EMS professionals from the Inland Empire to test their knowledge and skills under strenuous circumstances.

As part of the competition, Simpson and Nuber treated an actor posing as a snake bite victim with altered levels of consciousness. They also treated an actress posing as a woman delivering a baby with complications. Their skills were judged by peers, medical professionals and educators.

Simpson and Nuber earned first place medals in 2014 during the same competition.

“For our firefighter/paramedics to consistently place in this prestigious competition is a testament to the caliber of service we provide to the Chino Valley on daily basis,” said Fire Chief, Tim Shackelford.
