“Those who are reaching out when they feel hopeless. Those who feel they can’t go on. Those who act tough on the other end of the line, demanding help through anger, a raised voice, and a copious amount of profanities.
“This headset is how I’ve saved lives. Talked people off the edge of balconies. Instructed the preparation of delivering their baby. Delivered CPR instructions to people trying to help their relative when they’ve stopped breathing.
“Handed over non-urgent cases to registered nurses for further care.

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
