The first response of most liberals to anyone in distress is to “Call 911!” (as opposed to performing a heimlick, or doing CPR themselves, for instance. I do speak from experience on this).

Having highly qualified parameds show up has almost become a legend in urban culture, since it was first depicted in its early form in that 1970’s show, “Emergency”.

LOL

IF you live in Wasilla Ak, you call 911 and maybe the ambulance shows up in 15 to 30 Min.

All volunter FD don’t cha know..... (well, they have small (3) paid staff)

Type of Fire Department: Mostly Volunteer
Department Run By: Local
Number of Fire Stations: 6
Number of Career Firefighters: 3

Even worse the further you get from urban centers.

I guess that private (pay for play) ambulance services could fill the difference - but no insurance would mean no ride....
