一个良好的消防队员是一个交叉训练的消防员。知道如何最好成为发动机公司和梯形公司成员的成员对消防良好的消防部门是必不可少的。任何捐赠换档装备的人都知道这一点，并以他的能力为自己的能力而骄傲，以适应需要在船员方面做的任何任务。被分配给发动机或梯子很棒，只要有机会就可以，它总是谨慎的。
良好的消防员也是良好的紧急医疗技术人员（EMTS）和医护人员。由于会员在分配给灭火单位时，会员制定紧急医疗服务（EMS）自满时期是常见的，但它不一定是这样。通过将救护车添加到交叉培训计划，人员保持其技能（技术和“人物”）所需的地方锐利。作为一个奖金，在救护车上花时间的消防员学会欣赏他们在分配的卡车上欣赏安静的夜晚！
在任何任务中都很难保持卓越，而不定期执行它。公众预计在消防部门卓越;我们已经交付，并将继续这样做。EMS场景中最令人印象深刻的事情是一群擅长EMS的能力消防员。可能太长的时刻 - 太长的时刻 - 火灾人员与患者，他的家人和朋友们花费，或者在等待救护车工作人员到达的时候最好花费治疗病人，而不仅仅是杀戮时间。舒适评估患者并提供治疗并非来自书籍或讲座 - 它来自经验。Doingis far different fromlearning。Chances are excellent that a week or two of cross-training on an EMS rig will give any firefighter plenty of opportunity to establish IVs, administer oxygen, draw meds, and do some 12-lead EKGs.
通过火灾跨培训计划获得的最重要的福利之一是EMS和防火船员之间的工作关系改善。当我被分配到普罗维登斯（RI）消防部门（PFD）的发动机有限公司（PFD）时，救援有限公司3（PFD称之为其EMS救护车“救援”）被居住在我们旁边的海湾。我很少想到救护车或分配给它的人，主要是因为他们从未在车站中。同样，分配给救援有限公司3的人没有对消防机组人员毫不考虑。这是我们的损失;如果我们没有机会在进步船长实施EMS交叉训练时，我们从来没有理解过。

The call volume for EMS in Providence is triple what the fire crews respond to, but that does not mean the fire crews are loafing around. Housework, training, meals, and fires make for a full shift, something that a lot of EMS crews choose to ignore. Fire crews are famous for considering the EMS crews as being somehow less than themselves. I never took it personally when I was promoted to Rescue Lieutenant and moved to EMS full time, knowing that I was one of the firefighters who did not appreciate EMS until I did it for an extended period.
在救护车上花费一个或两个班次并没有给整天和整晚都做些什么，以及为什么他们总是抱怨。完全旅游是一个更好的“味道”，连续两个旅游更加如此。沉浸在EBB中，EMS Tour的流程允许消防员为自己体验为什么这些工作人员为他们的方式回应他们的方式以及它们如何处理调用卷。人员之间的敌意较少，当时每个人都理解整体的其他经验，而不是根据个人呼叫做出判断。
另一个原因与EMS cre交叉训练ws makes sense is it gives the person assigned to the ambulance an opportunity to hone their firefighting skills. Over the course of my EMS career I dressed many a hydrant, flaked thousands of feet of line, helped save an exposure or two, and changed a lot of air bottles. Being a good EMS crew in Providence also meant being good firefighters.
Cross-training with EMS is the right thing to do for everybody involved. Even the most reluctant firefighter will benefit. I certainly did.
