That is standard procedure for one simple reason. It saves lives!
There are many more firefighter/EMTs units than EMS crews. Every department I am familiar with (and having been a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years, and have a grandson that is a Firefighter/Paramedic it's a few) the minimum requirement to be hired is firefighter certifications, and EMT certification (or higher).
Statistics clearly show that trained medical response sooner saves lives.
In my area, there are about 20+ EMS units staffed with Paramedics. At any time, many of those are busy taking care of patients or at the hospital transferring a patient to the hospital staff.
Conversely, there are probably 80–90+ firefighter/EMT crews that are within a closer distance to a person having a medical emergency, and can begin life-saving care minutes early.
But if you still view it as "the god damnedest thing" then tell the 911 dispatcher not to send the fire department when your loved one is having a heart attack, not breathing, or bleeding out...

I suppose that's what I've been doing. I put maybe 1/4 cup of the dried hot pepper flakes I buy at Costco in a cup or two of water, bring to a simmer and sieve. Cool and put in spray bottle and spray the kabocha squashes in the yard. Once a squirrel tries to nibble one it decides they taste horrible and leave off attacking. This year it didn't work as well. I think I might have rat problems, not squirrel this year... maybe both. I am seeing tomato damage too that looks from rodents. Don't know if SQ or RAT.Denial of reality; copious copium.
Have you tried capsicum garden spray as a deterrent? Maybe fox urine/scent?
I was going to tell you what a f-ing lie that is, that it's just victim mentality when liars get called on lies, but the moderators told me I can't post this.Forum moderators blocked me for no reason.
Uh uh. Covid-19 did that. And your monster Republican has-been former president was responsible for 1/2 a million dead Americans from Covid-19. Sheesh.Hope? Change? NO.
Maybe one of your Berkeley illegals can give you some of their cat litter balls that will add clay to your soil and reek of pre dinner cat pee sufficient to keep mice and rats away. Or just leave cat food out for your local ferals. I got no more ground squirrels in my garden cause of that and I ain't seen no mice or rats.I suppose that's what I've been doing.

There is a feral cat that's been trolling my property for a couple weeks or so. I saw it stalking a rat early on, but it got away and ducked under the house. A big problem is that the cat appears to be all but blind. It bumps into things. It's probably helping with the rodents anyway.Maybe one of your Berkeley illegals can give you some of their cat litter balls that will add clay to your soil and reek of pre dinner cat pee sufficient to keep mice and rats away.

Huh? @K1052 didn't say a FD crew isn't eminently capable of saving lives.That is standard procedure for one simple reason. It saves lives!

The FD could also have smaller, rapid response vehicles, where they only need to send out 2 people, if an ambulance is a little further off. Cheaper than rolling a whole truck, and less wear and tear on local roads.Huh? @K1052 didn't say a FD crew isn't eminently capable of saving lives.
He implied it was economically inefficient to send 6 guys on a firefighting truck, if a 2-person ambulance crew could do the same job.
Your point about quantity of available personnel is a fair one, and if that's the main reason a FD crew is often sent out for a medical emergency, that's fine.
It can be. While there is no doubt prices have increased since mid-2021. The poster is not considering the actions performed previously that are themselves inflationary in nature.Who is not busy, I know this can be debunked
We could turn the world's military into health care workers and save on bombs.The FD could also have smaller, rapid response vehicles, where they only need to send out 2 people, if an ambulance is a little further off. Cheaper than rolling a whole truck, and less wear and tear on local roads.
Low level thinking is characteristic of people for whom reasoning would result if damage to their sacred cow beliefs. Conservative quick draw thinking has become an obstacle to human welfare since the paleolithic.It can be. While there is no doubt prices have increased since mid-2021. The poster is not considering the actions performed previously that are themselves inflationary in nature.
-Quantitative easy for a decade.
-A highly regressive backend (for income earners) $2 trillion tax cut in a stable growth economy.
-Then COVID comes along and there were 3 separate stimulus payouts.
3 of those 5 inflationary actions were performed by the Trump administration. The last one by Biden.
Add into the situation of worldwide supply chain gridlock and disruption which happened as a result of Covid restrictions being removed as society started to get back to normal; and you have a recipe for high demand and low supply. That low supply takes time to get worked out and thus you have a period of pretty high sustained price pressure.
Also, the poster is failing to recognize is that the US has worked to get these prices down faster than pretty much any other highly developed economy. Along with having higher GDP growth than their OECD counterparts. That is a success story of the Biden administration.
Hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to what was happening during the throws of the pandemic. It’s quite rich to be on your soapbox and just blame Biden in a vacuum for inflation because it happened while he was President, It’s lazy thinking.
Unfortunately, that’s what a lot of these Independents and vast majority of Republicans think.

Two people is fine, for routine medical issues. Many calls have the best outcome when there is more manpower, then throw in simple complications like stairs, obese patients. Furniture often needs to be moved, so roll a patient out of a backroom on a gurney.It is a poor allocation of resources especially in an urban area. Which one of these things is more useful in my circumstances and cheaper to roll?
Basically I need two people in one of these:

Agreed, and left it out of my reply because it's a tangential topic. We hardly ever address our outlier national medical spending (we likely get the absolute worst value per $) because we just accept all the various inefficiencies (well, because GQP and "capitalism").The FD could also have smaller, rapid response vehicles, where they only need to send out 2 people, if an ambulance is a little further off. Cheaper than rolling a whole truck, and less wear and tear on local roads.
Yes. It's just death by a thousand cuts.I doubt that sending out a firefighting truck shows up on any medical spending reports, but it's emblematic that as a nation, we get low value/$ compared to rest of the world.
Did you miss the point that fire crews far out number EMS crews? Fires crews will be "available" (not on a call) to respond at a higher availability rate, and often miles closer to the patient.Huh? @K1052 didn't say a FD crew isn't eminently capable of saving lives.
