Fire Department Questions
No. Some firefighters are Emergency Medical Technicians and some are Paramedics, usually depending on the fire department providing advanced life support or basic life support services. A paramedic is a trained and licensed or certified medical professional. Most commonly, paramedics are those who respond to medical emergencies out in the field (pre-hospital) for the purpose of stabilizing the victim's condition so s/he can be transported to medical facilities.
