Dr. Engineer Adam Konieczny.
The topic that courted controversy related to the bill commonly known under the name of "an ambulance in every commune", this was the onset of the discussion. - Fire brigade units are well located, thus the idea that each commune and poviat headquarters should have its own ambulance, which will guarantee the proper level of duties performance. As part of the National Rescue and Firefighting System, we will provide paramedic services within the scheme of the State Medical Rescue Service - said Senior Brigadier Dr. Eng. Adam Konieczny. Firefighters cannot transport people in fire trucks, an ambulance would enable to offer help, even for injured firefighters.
Provisions regarding the assistance were explained by the senior brig. Leszek Smolarczyk - Operational Planning Office of the Headquarters of the State Fire Services. As he said, according to the new regulations, the team includes paramedics who can administer drugs, e.g. to support the effective resuscitation. - Fire crews will not replace ambulance services, but will cooperate with them. They will provide assistance when an ambulance takes longer to reach the injured person, he explained.
