Acton FD is now ALS
Sharon FD moved their station to 211 South Main St
Cambridge FD now has a BLS ambulance - "Rescue 2" - used for special
events and member transports
-----------------------
ALS = advanced life support = paramedics (1000 hours training maybe) -
vs EMTs who have 100 hours of training
and to be more technical
EMT-A or EMT-B = 100 hours of training - A = ambulance - B = Basic
EMT-P = 1000 hours - (you might say that this is the actual technical
name of a paramedic
------------------
some states had EMT I and EMT IV and EMT MICU maybe - this was maybe
200 hours of training - they could give an IV but maybe not give
advanced drugs nor do advanced airways ("invasive" stuff)
