COX, Circuit Judge:
I. INTRODUCTION
The primary issue in this case is whether a group of paramedics, who are employed by. a county fire department and trained in fire suppression, have the “responsibility to engage in fire suppression” under 29 U.S.C. § 203(y), and are accordingly partially exempt from the normal forty-hour overtime schedule established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq. We conclude that the district court properly determined that the paramedics have the “responsibility to engage in fire suppression” within the meaning of the FLSA.
