EMT Hernandez Molina becomes Charge Aide
The BVFD proudly announces the advancement of EMT Victor Hernandez Molina who earned Officer in Charge (OIC) status on the BVFD Ambulance in February of 2026.
Congratulations to EMT Hernandez Molina who joined the BVFD in September of 2023. In his time with the BVFD, EMT Hernandez Molina has completed a multitude of courses required to obtain his Aide status. He completed hundreds of hours in the classroom and in station working on testing and skills.
Even after all the formal training, there were many steps to be completed before taking charge of a BVFD Ambulance. EMT Hernandez Molina had to successfully complete a series of comprehensive written and practical in-station examinations. After completing all tests, EMT Hernandez Molina rode “Charge” under the evaluation of an experienced Charge EMT for a series of evaluation calls. This process is designed to allow the EMT to demonstrate knowledge and ability in the field, before being permitted to be in charge of an Ambulance and crew in any situation.
The BVFD congratulates EMT Hernandez Molina for completing this rigorous process and earning Charge status!
