Coordination between emergency services

Emergency rescue requires effective coordination between all the emergency services. The objective is to ensure speedy first aid and transport to an appropriate treatment centre. There needs to be close professional cooperation at the scene between fire-fighters, coastguards and police (who may arrive first at the scene) and the emergency medical service personnel.
