Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
Here is an observation you seem to be missing. In the same breath that you state the major portion of the fire department responses are medical, you also imply that fire medics would be out of practice because they don't run enough calls. So what is it, they run a lot of medical emergency calls or a few? Fact is even the slower stations are running multiple calls daily and yes the majority are medical emergencies. In light of this would it not make sense to have firefighters able to provide advanced life support rather than basic since they generally arrive much sooner than the private provider? Further more, the fire department would not charge $10,000 for a life saving ride to the ER. You might try discussing politics instead of EMS, I'm sure you would be more convincing.
