Broward County is starting a unit of motorcycle-riding paramedics, modeling a successful program run by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. Miami-Dade has been running their program since 2002, and claim to have cut response time by 58%. This seems like a really good idea. I am always a little tense when I see the rescue units try to wind through gridlocked traffic in Atlanta. Admittedly, I know nothing at all about paramedic rescue, but if anyone has any thoughts about this, I would be interested to hear what you think.
