Emergency expert Jason Pack told Fox News Digital that the incident highlights how Canadian officials react differently in these situations than Americans.
“The Canada’s emergency response system shares many similarities with other countries, but also key differences in how lifeguards work together,” said Pack, adding that Firefighters from the Canada Airport are “highly specialized” in the emergencies of the emergencies of Airplanes
“Paramedics (Canadians) use a structured classification system to classify and transport patients to trauma centers,” Pack added. “However, unlike the United States, where firefighters often double as paramedics, Canada maintains these separate roles, which means that EMS equipment must arrive in large quantities to handle medical care.”
