Matthew Brooks and Mackenzie Byrd competed in the State Paramedic Competition in Winston Salem earlier today. This is an important milestone for Alamance County EMS, as the last time we competed in the State Paramedic finals was 32 years ago in 1994. Our last competing team included Matthew's dad, Scot Brooks, and his partner, Jim Peverall. Congratulations to Matthew and Mackenzie on a job well done!

WXII 12 News spoke with Matthew and Mackenzie as they prepared for the competition.
