A '''first responder''' is
A '''first responder''' refers to the first individual who arrives at the scene of an emergency, regardless of the individual's type of credential. The first responder uses a limited amount of equipment to perform initial assessment and intervention and is trained to assist other [[EMS]] providers. This level of provider is not intended to be utilized as the minimum staffing for an ambulance.▼
