Virginia Beach Fire Department is changing the way it trains its new EMT’s. For the past several years the fire department trained its recruits to the advanced EMT level, but starting next Thursday training will be at the basic level. Virginia Beach Professional Firefighters President William Bailey is upset. He says the new level of service will affect the people of Virginia Beach. "We are proud of what we do, we save lives and we make a difference and our guys want to remain at that," said Bailey.
