Receiving the call: medics and firefighters join forces

BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — The difference between life or death can sometimes be determined by mere seconds and when bad reception stops emergency responders from receiving the call to action, every moment that passes puts the patients further in jeopardy. The 9th Medical Group and base fire department has mitigated this risk by co-locating medical providers at Station 2, allowing medics to be immediately dispatched with emergency services.
