First responders are often the first medically trained professionals to arrive on the scene of emergencies and accidents. First responders are normally police officers, EMTs and firefighters. Police officers' job duties include responding to emergency calls while out on patrol, at which point they might be required to perform CPR or first aid, secure a crime scene or detain suspects. EMTs also perform basic lifesaving techniques on scene and continue to provide care on the way to a hospital or other healthcare facility. Firefighters respond to a variety of emergency situations, including fires, natural disasters, hazardous waste spills and medical emergencies.
