🚑 Emergency or Just “Essential”? You Decide! 🚑

Apparently, there’s some debate over whether the ambulance service is an emergency service or just an essential service. Funny, because last time we checked, racing to cardiac arrests, major trauma, and life-threatening emergencies wasn’t exactly a non-urgent hobby.

🔥 Fire? Emergency.
👮‍♂️ Crime? Emergency.
💀 Someone not breathing? Essential, apparently.

Call us what you like, but we’ll keep doing what we do best—saving lives, patching up the public, and wondering if we’re actually an emergency service… or just really, really keen first-aiders with a van.
