Are all west Metro engines BLS?

We have a paramedic on board every apparatus. In this case, Marina is the tailboarder and is an EMT. On that particular Engine 3 crew, the engineer and the officer are both paramedics. On some crews, everyone on board the engine is a paramedic. All West Metro EMTs are sent to paramedic school on a rotating basis. Generally, about two years after graduation from academy.
