Hopefully the fire crew did not get in the way and impede EMS personal and negatively impact the patient. Fire Departments in the US love to pad their run statistics with busy-work ems calls where they arrive on scene for several minutes than leave once real patient care begins.
I'm really not sure what you're referring to but here firefighters provide the same medical services as EMS and receive the same training. In fact, a large percentage of firefighters also work EMS, which speaks to the continuity of care offered by both services. The benefit of having fire units respond to medical calls, in addition to EMS, lies in response time. Due to appropriate station placement throughout the county, fire generally arrives significantly faster than EMS because of unit availability and location at the time of dispatch. In this particular instance, a large segment of footage was cut out, in order to speed up the arrival of EMS for the video. In actuality, this EMS unit arrived approximately 15 minutes after the first arriving fire unit, allowing us the opportunity to provide extensive medical treatment, improving patient outcome. Although some of this is specific to our system, this is exactly how the majority of US systems operate so again, I have no idea what you're talking about and would suggest you do some factual research of the American fire service. Thanks for watching.

Yes, they're in Raleigh/Durham, NC.

Did they survive? The reason I ask is because I've been through cardiac arrest and I hope they are ok because not alot survive

I love people who comment who have no actual experience as it is so very evident in this comment

On any call u should get out of the truck with your GoPro
a lot of county's wont actually let you film med calls or mva's so he probably cant
