Ok so do we have people qualified? What if we do and they are out for dinner at sumter landing or up north. Then what?
Does somebody have to be on call 24 hours?

It's not just "one or two" people in the neighborhood...
And if no one is available, unfortunately that means no one is available. There is no "on call"...
The same with EMTs. If they're available, they'll show up quickly. If they're already responding to other calls, you're gonna' have to wait a bit longer...
It's not meant to replace the EMTs. It there to be an adjunct, to "assist" the EMTs...
