We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description: Entry Level Paramedics, 16-week recruit camp, graduate as Firefighter Paramedic, eligibility age, driver's license, Utah Paramedic License or NREMT, BLS, ACLS, PALS, Utah paramedic license prior to final job offer. Also timeline, steps, etc. We need to extract substantive info. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. The posting includes many procedural details; we can categorize. About the role: description of role: Entry Level Paramedic, will go through recruit camp, become Firefighter Paramedic. Responsibilities: maybe not explicit; but we can infer duties: performing paramedic skills, firefighter physical agility test, etc. However we should not invent. The posting lists steps: written pharmaceuticals & EMS skills assessment, oral board interview, firefighter physical agility test, reference/background check, psychological exam, new-hire medical physical and drug screening, recruit camp. Those are process steps, not responsibilities. Might be better to put under Requirements/Qualifications. Requirements: age >=18 by written test date Oct 2026, valid driver's license, Utah Paramedic License or National Registry Paramedic, BLS, ACLS, PALS certification at time of application, Utah paramedic license prior to final job offer. Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements; but we can separate: qualifications: must possess certifications, license, etc. Could combine. Skills: maybe paramedic skills assessment, physical agility, etc. But we can include "Skills" section if there is specific content: paramedic skills assessment (per NREMT guidelines), firefighter physical agility test components (lifting, carrying, pulling, climbing), must pass with cut-off time 13:00 minutes, must be in good physical condition. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. Schedule: not mentioned (though timeline dates). Could we include schedule as the timeline? The posting includes dates for registration, interview, etc. That's more process timeline, not work schedule. Probably not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule unless explicitly stated. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we omit those. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Process" but not in list. We'll stick to allowed headings. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details: age requirement, driver's license, certifications, Utah paramedic license prior to final offer, timeline dates, steps, etc. But we need to fit into sections. We can put timeline details under About the role? Or maybe under Requirements? Better to have a section "About the role" with prose describing the role and process timeline. Then Requirements list: age, driver's license, certifications. Qualifications list: maybe same as requirements? Could combine but we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we separate: Requirements: age, driver's license. Qualifications: certifications and license. Skills: paramedic skills assessment, physical agility test details. We must not repeat info unnecessarily but must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include each piece somewhere. Let's extract: - Opportunity for Entry Level Paramedics via Paramedic-Only process. - Hired applicants go through full 16-week recruit camp and graduate as Firefighter Paramedic with UFA. - Must be at least 18 years of age by the written test date (October 2026). - Must possess a valid driver's license in good standing at time of employment. - Must possess a Utah Paramedic License or National Registry Paramedic, BLS, ACLS, and PALS certification at time of application. - Utah paramedic license prior to a final job offer. - Timeline: - Registration September 14- October 13 - Oral Board Interview, Written Pharmaceuticals & EMS Skills Assessment, and Firefighter Physical Agility Test (dates Oct 19-23) (assigned date later) - Background Investigations October-November - Final Job Offers December-January 2027 - New Hire Orientation January 5, 2027 - Start of Recruit Camp February 1, 2027 - Process steps: - Primary contact by email; keep email updated. - Step 2: Written Pharmaceuticals & EMS Skills Assessment/Oral Board Interview/Firefighter Physical Agility Test. - Oral board interview: structured behaviorally based questions evaluated by fire officers. - Written Pharmaceuticals & EMS Skills Assessment: must pass paramedic skills assessment per NREMT guidelines. - Firefighter Physical Agility Test: based on general firefighting duties; includes lifting, carrying, pulling, climbing; designed to simulate endurance; must pass with cut-off time of at least 13:00 minutes; must be in good physical condition; sign release of liability. - Step 3: Reference, Background Check, Psychological Examination. - Step 4: New-Hire Medical Physical and Drug Screening; must meet NFPA-1582 standards. - Step 5: Recruit Camp anticipated to begin February 1, 2027. - Additional note: To fill vacancies, HR may assign firefighter applicants to different hiring groups per organizational needs and policies. - Job Description: Firefighter and Paramedic Hiring Process Policy (maybe not needed). We need to avoid boilerplate like "PLEASE BE ADVISED..." but that's substantive about physical condition and liability; we should keep. We must not include application instructions (like "please click below", "View the Firefighter Physical Agility Video") - those are instructions; we should remove them. Also remove "For information on each event related to the test, please click below." and "View the Firefighter Physical Agility Video". Also remove "ALL APPLICANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN A RELEASE OF LIABILITY." That's not boilerplate? It's part of process; we can keep as it's substantive about requirement. But maybe it's instruction; but it's a requirement. We'll keep. We must not include duplicated lines. Now craft HTML. We'll have:

    We might also include a section for Process steps like Reference/Background, Medical, etc. But not in allowed headings. Could we add a "Process" heading? Not allowed; only those headings. So we must fit that info somewhere. Could add to About the role or Skills? Maybe add a paragraph under About the role describing the selection steps. But we already used About the role for role description and timeline. Could add a paragraph after timeline about the selection process: email contact, steps 2-5. That would preserve info. Let's adjust About the role to include process steps. Thus:

    Now we have covered process. Check for duplication: we mentioned Oral Board Interview etc twice; but it's okay as it's in both list and timeline. Might be considered duplication but we need to preserve all info; duplication is okay as long as not invented. However we might want to avoid repeating same sentence; but it's fine. Now ensure we didn't include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections. Good. Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed "PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU SHOULD BE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION..." but we kept a similar statement in Skills: "Applicants should be in good physical condition to participate in the agility test and to avoid injury or aggravation of existing conditions". That's essentially same but rephrased; but we must not invent or summarize away detail. The original says "PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU SHOULD BE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIREFIGHTER PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST AND TO PREVENT INJURY OR AGGRAVATION OF ANY
