BC- AMR …self explanatory …a little over the top with the VFD inclusion…especially since most still want to separate out the EMS from VFD calls…Calling the VFD responses 1st Responder Calls ” doesn’t change the fact they are still unnecessary…As one Avid Reader stated in response to the “knock down the door” excuse…AMR employs VFD officers…they can carry an ax on board if need be …can’t they?…
