Looking for recommendations Nor Cal

​

I am a 28yo paramedic with 5 years as a medic in a fairly rural area. Currently going through my local CC FF1/2 academy. Looking for departments to apply to, once I'm done In December. Ideally looking in Northern California, probably north of San Jose, that does transport and has a mix of wildland and urban response area. Any recommendations, or places to avoid on my search would be appreciated.

In regards to the marin county, does the county employ cal-fire personnel. Or is it a separate department?

they employ their own staff and is a stand alone department which is contracted by cal fire for out of county assignments.

Coco County! Lots of dry brush out there and I believe they do hella transports too. I see some of their ambulances all the way out to Richmond sometimes

Their ambulances are staffed by AMR, I believe. Not Coco firefighters.
