A three-person team made up of two recent Emergency Medical Technology graduates and an EMT student won top honors at the eighth annual Paramedic Savers Basic and Intermediate Challenge held May 7.

This event gives basic and intermediate/advanced EMTs from North and South Carolina the opportunity to compete in a challenging and realistic scenario-based competition. Lancaster County EMS hosted this year’s competition.
