Emergency....

The Emergency  Service   is responsible for providing pre-Clinic (or out-of-Clinic) care by paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMT's), and medical first responders.

EMS is also synonymous with: First Aid Squad, Emergency Squad, Safety Squad, Rescue Squad, Ambulance Squad, Ambulance Corps, Life Squad or its initials spelled out, Emergency Medical Service. They usually all do the same thing but with different names, all representing the same basic thing: emergency patient care.

The goal of EMS is to provide early treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, and ultimately rapid transportation to an emergency department. In some areas, EMS providers also perform technical and heavy rescue.
