Emergency Medical Services

“The dilemma in the fire/EMS protection is cultural. Everyone expects an immediate, massive response when they dial 9-1-1, fire trucks paramedics, ambulances, planes, overhead, bulldozers, etc. The level of service in a community is linked to its financial ability and desire to provide resources.”
