DALLAS, NC -- Paramedics from all over the region will converge on Gaston College's main campus Friday starting at 9 a.m. It's not to answer calls, however; it's to participate in the 18th annual State Paramedic Championships.

Gaston College is one of five sites statewide hosting the preliminary competition. Competitions will also be held at Surry Community College, Sandhills Community College, Wake Tech Community College, and James Sprunt Community College.

Lincoln County EMS training coordinator Kim Green said two teams from the county will participate. One team is going to Gaston College, while the other is going to Surry Community College.

"The competition involves taking written exams," said Green. "The other part of the test is a practical scenario, which we won't know what that will be until we're at the competition."

Competition director Michael Cobb says that 40 teams have signed up for the first round and a chance to unseat defending champions Scott Brown and Fred Lawson of Stokes County EMS.
The championships will take place at Emergency Medicine Today in Greensboro on October 5.
