Yes I have worked both!

I worked for a private EMS for 3 years before I got hired on a civil fire based EMS. I have 9 years experience and counting. I think as fire based we are better as customer service. I am always the good guy. Working EMS only, I did think I was a better medic (currently NREMT-PS) since that was the only thing I knew. However, if I had to choose between saving a life and putting out a fire, fire wins every time. Now I would love to read comments. If you are going to be an *%$ and start ranting, DON'T EVEN TYPE!!!!!!
