What if you’re solo and can’t open the door? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) Hah, I'm envisioning them breaking down the door, letting out a giant puff of smoke and flames, and taking off their boots before entering the apartment. Ambulance paramedics and firefighters here are cross-trained because their skills are so often needed together. I'm sure there's a person on the team who's the best at starting an IV and another who's the best at swiftwater rescue and another who can get grandma out of a flaming attic better than anyone else but the paramedics have been trained to help fight fires and the firefighters have CPR/first aid training.
