I’ve been with the British Columbia Ambulance Service for over 39 years and during that time it’s been my pleasure to work with some very fine people. They are highly trained and dedicated professionals. Let’s not forget their families who experience, all the disappointments when the paramedic is sent on a long call at the end of his or her shift. It’s family time they will never get back. If you want to become a paramedic, consider the cost. When someone needs help, we’re dedicated to respond as quickly and safely as possible and to provide the best possible service to the fine people of British Columbia. The problem is time; time is our enemy. We cover a vast area, and it takes time to get to the scene of the accident, injuried or
ill person. What can you do to help? If you need an ambulance, please call 911 and give accurate directions. Please take a first-aid course, including C.P.R., and please pull over and let the ambulance pass, as seconds may count. Please drive safely and take precautions to keep your family safe in all areas of your life. You will make a paramedic happy. From myself and my fellow paramedics please have a happy and safe summer as you enjoy this beautiful Cariboo country we are all fortunate to live in. Robert Kopp - Unit Chief British Columbia Ambulance- WL Robert is currently the most senior full time Paramedic in B.C.
