I was recently contacted by Kristine Auble, a Junior Broadcast Journalism major at the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism. She explained she was working on a project, explained what she needed and provided a deadline. Her request was to interview one of our medics and we set her up on a ride-along with one of our EMS supervisors. She spent a Saturday afternoon with Paramedic Captain Roland Berg as he conducted his tour of duty on the Northern side of the County.
Below is the video she provided to use for review, as I had requested, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I have found the work of Auble and all Phillip Merrill students to be of excellent quality and professionalism. I look forward to continue working with Merrill students and providing whatever assistance they may need.
Congratulations Kristine on your product. Keep up the good work, I wish the best for your remaining time in College and future career.

The Fire/EMS Departments Press Information Office is often contacted by Merrill students and staff of Capital News Service (CNS) asking for information, interviews and assistance in producing their assignments. We have assisted countless students in their coursework and enjoy hearing from graduates that are now employed with news agencies around the national capital region. The CNS often cover breaking news and other stories involving the Fire/EMS Department and I find their work to be of excellent quality.I was recently contacted by Kristine Auble, a Junior Broadcast Journalism major at the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism.
