The emergency services work together to overcome any situation they may face. The police are usually the first to be on any incident scene, so decide which other emergency service should attend the incident scene. All three of the emergency services work together to try and get the injured people to hospital and investigate why this incident has occurred. They would then clean the incident up. All three emergency response units have key roles and responsibilities when attending an incident.
The outcome of the three services working together is usually good because combining their knowledge and experience the three services will do what is best for that scenario. For example, if a major car crash has happened and needs all three of the emergency services to attend. The police would close off the area in which the incident, inform the close relatives about the incident, direct the traffic and investigate why this incident has occurred. The Ambulance service would treat the casualties which have been involved in the incident, and get them to hospital as soon as possible. Lastly the fire service would make sure the are no fires and hazardous chemicals, and if needed cut the casualties from the vehicle.
This shows how the three services work well as a team because they all know what they are doing in this situation, everyone has a key role within the team. Without the three emergency services working together on scenes like this, then it would be very hard for just one emergency service to overcome a situation like this.
This is because the one emergency service would not have enough experience to do everything, there would be a lack of equipment and not enough personnel on scene. This is why combining the three services gives the best outcome, because between them they can accomplish any situation which they have to encounter.
