I can appreciate the different views of people about having volunteer ambulances. However I agree with the individual that stated you would not want 20 volunteer RN's on you at the hospital. I think the same goes for EMS. Paramedics should be kept out of the "hobby" arena. You are dealing with peoples lives. If somebody is that interested in being a Paramedic, go to school and change careers so you can devote the amout of training and time it requires to be a good professional Paramedic. If It was you hurt on the street, would you want anything less? Think about it.
