    My husband was a volunteer firefighter for 37 years, in a small BC community. He took emergency first responder courses, he helped save many lives but at times he was trying to save a life for long duration of time (hours)waiting for the ambulance service to show up to transport the patients. Not all of them were the firefighters able to save. Which put a great strain on the department and the members as a whole. After seeing the system get steadily worse, he had to retire. The BC government also did not have any insurance coverage for the senior members. You were concerned trash at the age of 65! Even though the knowledge, the declining volunteers membership, meant nothing.

    If I’m having a heart attack I want highly trained Paramedics not Firefighters with basic training.

    Weird how the lady said Surrey Memorial Hospital closed for the entire weekend. It’s a 24/7 emergency. Please don’t make false comments. It’s busy on weekends because the local clinics close early but it’s never been closed.

    the whole notion that police fire, and emergency services are there to serve and protect nations that promote green services rather than the oil industry, rather than the rail services that could potentially have EMS services along a corridor that doesn't have services right now in both nations, could change, rather than leaving innocent people with neglected services. It's up to citizens to decide the quality of care do they want for their families. The bottom line is that's what this incident and others are showing up.
