I think it's crazy to have two separate EMS systems, the ambulance and fire department, responding to every call. This cost everyone way too much money. Pick one or the other, than train necessary personnel to handle the load.

I would rather have 2 well trained paramedics show up than just one if I have an emergency. I hate that ambulance rides are not covered by most medical insurance plans.
