SWAT Medics

Firefighters are now part of the SWAT team in Hialeah, FL (from FireFightingNews.com).

Florida - What do fire hoses, pistols and first-aid kits have in common. They are the tools that may help a new breed of Special Weapons and Tactics, or SWAT, members save lives in Hialeah. For the first time, the city's fire department teamed up with its police department in an effort to create SWAT medics, a group of medically trained firefighters that can provide immediate attention to wounded victims in emergency situations.

Living out in the sticks, there are very few SWAT teams in my area, let alone SWAT medics. It is an excellent idea. Check out this web site for more details about SWAT medics.
