    Critical Care in a Fire-Based Department/District?

    Welcome to our first episode! In this episode, we will be discussing why we created this podcast and why we think it is important to discuss the current culture change in EMS where fire-based departments and districts are starting to see a need for critical care. Right now, the majority of emergency calls are for medical emergencies, not fire emergencies, and the ambulance has not been a popular assignment compared to the fire truck. Should we reconsider the importance of this position within the department or district? Listen in to find out what we think.
