How many of you are classified as a "professional rescuer," which is someone who performs first aid or life saving measures for compensation?
If so, are you regulated by your State Bureau of EMS? (Or Proviencial?) Are you required to hold a DOT First Responder certificate? Is your agency required to be a "first responder" organization, "first aid squad," or "rescue squad? under state law?
What do your duties include as a professional rescuer? Are you responsible for CPR and Rescue Breathing only, or for full BLS support? Do you have AEDs and are you authorized to use them?
