    Starting a College EMS Service

    I guess were lucky in that our fire department is still a busy enough station without us, and being that we are a BLS service they still get activated if a transport or ALS is needed. Out fire department has gone as far as to participate in out drill and critique our squad and give us donations...

    Best to bring out the truth, and its not like the people that will be looking at you will be perfect, they will have more respect for someone that is honest and upfront then someone that tries to hide something and is later on caught and now thought to be deceitful, especially when it comes to a...

    Bay Area ambulance companies?
