That I don't get, we're a BLS only FD, and as far as we're concerned, once EMS pulls up, the patient is theirs. We'll assist them (either helping Cardy the patient or basic ALS assist stuff like spiking the IV bag, setting up the 12 Lead, setting up Glucometer (using the blood from the IV to get a reading) etc, IF they ask (we'll offer though, but often EMS will say they're good and clear us as soon as the patient is loaded). Absent any gross negligence I can't imagine any of our crews arguing with EMS over patient care...All the stories I read on here of BLS fire squads arguing with ALS third service squads...
