It is hard to respond to a call when you travel 25 miles to the call. Then its really hard for us to respond in less than 8 minutes. Places like Dothan, Enterprise, and Ozark they have the fire department to help on calls. But for places like Geneva, Elba, Hartford, Slocomb, and Opp they only have the EMS service to respond to the call. Only time the fire department responds is for wrecks and fires. If the small town services had the help of a fire department then our rates would be much better. EMS can be a very rewarding job but it also can be a very stressful job when the call doesn't go like you would have wanted it to go. I would suggest that everyone learn CPR because it is the first step of survival when used.
