Complicating many medical emergencies are the environments victims are trapped in: hazardous materials, confined spaces, collapses, running machinery, crushed vehicles, steep cliffs, raging water and violent scenes are all impediments to care that must be overcome by firefighters and police officers before care and transport of a patient is possible.
The best care of the patient is the ultimate goal in our 9-1-1 emergency medical services system!
