El Dorado Fire Chief Chad Mosby Recognized for 30 Years of National EMS Certification

The El Dorado Fire Department is proud to announce that Fire Chief/Paramedic Chad Mosby has been recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for 30 years of continuous National EMS certification. The National Registry recently presented Mosby with a certificate commemorating this milestone and his longstanding commitment to professional excellence in emergency medical services.

Mosby first earned National Registry certification in 1995 as an EMT-Intermediate and later that same year obtained his National Registry Paramedic certification. Since then, he has maintained his National Registry credentials through ongoing education, training, and recertification while serving the citizens of El Dorado and advancing through a distinguished career in fire and emergency medical services.

National Registry certification is recognized throughout the United States as a benchmark of professional competency for EMS providers. Maintaining certification requires continued education and verification of knowledge and skills to ensure EMS professionals remain current with evolving standards of patient care.

Mosby has served in the fire service for 31 years and has been a paramedic for 30 years. He currently serves as Fire Chief of the El Dorado Fire Department, a position he has held for the past 14 years. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to professional development and advancing the quality of emergency medical services delivered to the community.

The recognition highlights both Mosby’s dedication to the EMS profession and the El Dorado Fire Department’s commitment to providing exceptional emergency medical care to the residents and visitors of El Dorado.
