Do paramedics and firefighters really give people blankets like in the movies?

It's real.

If it's hot can one opt for a snowball?

Yeah. Even if we get mugged on a hot summer day.


---->Blanket my arse.

They gave me one when they put me in the ambulance

Yeah man. People are traumatized. Their in a period of distress. A blanket helps.

know of no self-respecting firefighter whose first impulse would be to cover up a naked or scantily-clad woman.

I know a few that would feel the same about a man too.

I thought it was too help keep people from going into shock

I think there was another shot of George in the amber lamps.?...

Si

Maybe I misunderstood your question. You were talking about strictly at a fire scene? Fire Dept I work for runs ambulance also, basically you rotate out, one shift ambulance, next shift fire truck, next shift rescue truck. We keep blankets on ambulance although not warm and fuzzy blankets When wheeling people out on stretcher we cover them up with a blanket.
