Fire-Based vs. Private EMS
Manage episode 360301190 series 3457763
When people dial 911 to report a medical emergency, they expect an immediate response from local emergency medical providers tasked with providing critical life-saving care in their area. But far too often and in far too many places, the private ambulance companies contracted to respond to them put their bottom line above service. As a result, emergency units are often unexpectedly "browned out" or closed due to staffing or budget issues.
