WORKSHOP GROUP B<br />
Fire and <strong>EMS</strong> Operations in Canada<br />
This workshop is intended to provide an update on fire-based <strong>EMS</strong> across Canada. The workshop<br />
will also focus on issues at the provincial level; particularly the resistance that fire departments<br />
have experienced when trying to augment or improve their ability to provide better levels of<br />
patient care. The panel will address studies and documents that presented a negative picture of<br />
increased fire involvement in <strong>EMS</strong> and the look at the accuracy of those studies. This workshop<br />
will assist Canadian <strong>IAFF</strong> locals with addressing the rhetoric and will provide pathways that set<br />
patient care as the ultimate goal of increased fire involvement.<br />
