Meramec Ambulance District Welcomes New C-Shift Captain: Jacob Castro

We are proud to announce the promotion of Jacob Castro to C-Shift Captain at Meramec Ambulance District. Captain Castro’s journey with us began in March 2021 as a part-time EMT. By September of that year, he had earned his paramedic license, and just six months later, he joined our full-time staff as a paramedic.

Jacob’s passion for the EMS field is evident through his continuous pursuit of knowledge, including completing the Fundamentals of Critical Care Transport Education Program (FCCT). 

Coming from a family of first responders - his father being a firefighter-paramedic - Jacob was inspired to join this field, driven by his desire to help others. Recently married, Jacob enjoys spending his time outside of work riding horses, remodeling his home, and caring for his puppy.

Please join us in congratulating Captain Jacob Castro on this well-deserved achievement!
