National Emergency Medical Services Week might be a time for the Clovis and Portales communities to recognize those in the life-saving business, but for local fire departments, it's a time to get in some extra training.
"This is basically a week where we review our training as much as possible," said Clovis Fire Chief Michael Nolen, adding that his department will be holding testing dates for new hires June 1-3.
Nolen said the emergency medical flight company AeroCare will be making breakfast for Clovis firefighters today and Thursday to honor them and, at some point this week, Plains Regional Medical Center will be holding a luncheon for them.
