Currently serving Jasper County Fire Rescue in south Carolina along with Charleston County EMS.
Since 9-11 things have changed when responding to an incident such as this we have to be prepared for secondary devices that are designed to take out the rescuer. There are many issues to this and it is not a simple answer. My department send the cops in first to investigate and once it is deemed moderately safe Then we proceed to rescue the victims but what good are we if we becomes victims.
Share Answer: 
Typically one of each but some systems have two paramedics on a unit. I personally disagree with two medics unless it is a major incident due to it being a wasted resource of a medic driving. Some systems use 3 medics on a unit. Some private ambulance companies have a medic and a uncertified driver. But usually a Medic and EMT.

It typically means we are either placing a pt in spinal precautions, backboard etc or simply getting a patient loaded into the medic unit for transport.
Share Answer: 
From a fire report standing this is a bit complexing. The structure is not on fire, equipment is not on fire. The pot holder is not debris so it could be labeled as cooking material. The only listing that we could do is to list it as other and report it in the narrative of the fire report.
