Think I know both providers, both were great medics. Neither work here anymore, one had a kid the other a flight gig. Either way small world

Emerson Paramedics. They're technically part of a private EMS company but they have an agreement to staff medics/equip/training on the non transporting intercept truck. They're the primary ALS for the 10 or so surrounding towns

More impressed the 1 year old was eating lo mein with chopsticks. I still struggle with those things
