FOR THE LEDGER Enterprise City Council at the recent meeting approved the implementation of Advanced Life Support EMS incentive pay for members of the Enterprise Fire Department.
As part of the resolution, Alabama Department of Public Health licensed Enterprise Fire Department Paramedics will receive an additional $170 per pay period and Alabama Department of Public Health licensed EFD Advanced EMTs will receive an additional $120 per pay period. The additional stipend will go into effect the first full pay period in May.

Thirteen EFD personnel have the necessary certifications which qualify them for the incentive pay. Davis said he expects the number of personnel to increase as several additional firefighters are currently pursuing the next level of certification.
