NAPLES — Collier County Medical Director Robert Tober has pulled advance life support certification for all East Naples firefighter-paramedics because he says they have failed to meet agreed-upon training standards. It is the latest move in an ongoing feud between Tober and the county’s fire districts. “It’s just like a toothache, man,” Tober said of the feud. East Naples Fire Chief Doug Dyer said Tober’s latest action to decertify the remaining half-dozen firefigther-paramedics, coupled with the Collier County Commission not stopping him, is proof the commission has no interest in renegotiating the EMS and fire departments’ service agreement.
