I had to quit watching it due to laughter!

Don't let that archaic thinking get you down. It's going to be around for a long time still. Most of the 'firemedics' I know would rather be fighting fire instead of being a paramedic anyway so I know when we respond, the patient is getting the best care possible at that point.

Look at it this way, since the onset of stricter fire codes and safety precautions, the fire service has to justify getting their ridiculous budget approved each year and the best way to do it is PSA's like that.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

Maybe if the changed the title of their video to "EMS based Fire suppression" I could give it more credit. The sad part is, the FD shows this drivel to people who really aren't involved in Emergency Management, but yet have the ability to effect change.

So.... it's a video version of the paper that we talked about here months ago?

[Mateo_1387]

Wow, I think it is funny they will not allow comments for the video !! I guess they don't want their propaganda slandered

[akroeze]

Where do they get the idea that 90% of EMS is linked with Fire? I find that hard to believe

[kearbear32]

This video is crazy. Where I'm from its almost the opposite! We may share the same station, but we have our own sides. We don't share anything. Half the firefighters don't even talk to us. Its sad really. But different subject for a different day!
