Captains, who are licensed in the state and accredited in Alameda County as a paramedic, may also bid based on rank seniority to move temporarily to the station requiring ALS coverage due to the FF/EMT placement.

The Fire Captains will return to their permanent bid spots upon the FF/EMT vacating the FF/PM spots NOTE: In the event a Fire Engineer or Fire Captain are displaced from their permanent bid spot due to the medic of rank movement,those individuals will be administratively placed in the open spots created by the original move.
