摘要

Barakey discusses the benefits of running emergency medical service (EMS) calls to fire service. Many departments provide advanced life support (ALS) off the engine company; this first response is necessary to provide time-sensitive basic life support and ALS to the community. Although the primary focus for the injured and sick, take the time to maximize one's time away from the firehouse. Use the incident, from the time of alarm to the time a firefighter returns to the station, to learn, see, and train.
