Eric A. Lopez

Quick-thinking Medical Professional with broad expertise and knowledge of medical procedures and assessments, Patient-focused and passionate EMT with 16 years of experience in providing reliable and timely pre-hospital care in emergency, life-threatening situations such as responding to 911 calls as a Fire Explorer, EMT and Reserve Firefighter. Experience as a Flight EMT with CHLA (Children’s Hospital Los Angeles) as well as a Rope Rescue Technician and Reserve Firefighter with the City of Torrance has taught me to become team oriented and lead others with pride, respect and compassion. These traits have been instilled in me at a very young age by my father who is prior military (U.S. Air Force), I was always taught to respect the uniform I wear and to serve others the way I would want my loved ones to be treated. Having successfully completed 4 paramilitary academies such as San Fernando Police Jr. Explorer Academy Class#2 (18 weeks), Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Explorer Academy Class#74

(20 weeks), Los Angeles County Fire Explorer Tower Class #42 (12 weeks) and Verdugo Fire Academy Class #19

(53 weeks). I’ve always been able to adapt and overcome various tasks and challenges throughout my career by continuing to learn from others and using my experience to ensure the best patient care is provided.
