My random thoughts as a CFR with a patch that covers a small town in Buckinghamshire and some surronding villages I would say that having some form of beacon on my car would be a benefit in clearing traffic, though I agree with other CFR posters that I would not want to be exempt from normal traffic rules, just use it to clear a path. I also would love to carry on with further training to EMT standerd, as I feel that we could offer a valubale support to the crews in the same way as the Specails do to the Police service. In my town the local ambulance station closed 8 years ago and we are fortunate that crews normally get here with in 10-15 minutes though on Friday/Saturday nights it can be longer, Once I performed CPR with another CFR for nearly 40 minutes before a crew or FRU was available to support and the paitent survived. I must also say that our crews are amazing and real give us CFRs a lot of support and feedback.
