John W. Shedler (JR)
John W. Shedler is a second-generation firefighter currently serving as a Captain/Paramedic, bringing over 14 years of experience in emergency medical services, including 11 years as a paramedic. Growing up in the fire service helped shape his work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations. That background carries into everything he does, with a focus on delivering safe, efficient, and dependable care.
Outside of work, John stays busy raising his kids and making the most of time with his family. Whether he's camping, hunting, fishing, scuba diving, or taking on projects around the house, he's always drawn to hands-on work and the outdoors. Life at home also includes two bulldogs who keep things interesting. His approach is simple: bring a steady, professional presence and a high standard of care, while making the entire experience straightforward and comfortable.
Gabriel Figueroa
My name is Gabriel. I'm an Arizona native, and I have been working in Emergency Medical Services here since 2016. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to serve my community in a wide variety of environments, including ambulance operations all across the Phoenix area, rotor-wing flight medicine and in the emergency department.
Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father. My family and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible and are always looking for our next adventure. I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, shooting sports, skiing, mountain biking, and scuba diving.
I have a passion for helping others and living life to the fullest!
Oscar Merritt
With 35 years of experience as an Arizona Paramedic, including 26 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic, I have built my career on high-level emergency skills and a reassuring bedside manner that instantly puts people at ease. After retiring from the fire service, I've traded the heavy gear for a new way to serve. Now, I'm partnering with The IV Guy to deliver safe, professional, and personalized hydration and wellness boosts directly to our community.
Outside of work, my life revolves around my faith, family, and my Rottie (Buddy). My family and I love traveling and vacationing together to recharge, but when we're closer to home, my schedule stays packed with hiking, workouts, Karate, grilling, and DIY home projects, though I am not above completely conquering the couch for a good movie night. Whether you need a recovery boost or routine wellness care, I'm here to make your experience comfortable and seamless.

Whether he's responding to an emergency or exploring the world around him, Mike is driven by a deep commitment to giving back and embracing life to the fullest.
