They were the first on scene when there was an incident that could have ended badly for my fiancé. When I was a teenager, they helped me with mental health related calls along with EMT and police officers. Very recently they saved my childhood house (we still own and rent out) from completely burning down. My father spoke with an investigator and fire chief about what could've caused it and they're still trying to figure it out, but even if they never do, they saved the house. Without them, it wouldn't even be a structure anymore and definitely not salvageable. I gotta make y'all cookies or something. You guys deserve way more but I wanna do what I can to show my appreciation.

Medic One is no longer taking certain medical emergencies in Seattle but I don't believe that the…read moreking county residents know this. The Seattle Fire department chooses whether you get Medic one or a pay for-profit AMR ambulance service without a person knowing. I called Medic One and they had no idea that they received funding via a property tax levy (refer below). They receive funding but they are only dispatched if they choose to go? I'm aware of a situation where in an emergency they sent the pay for profit AMR service which charged over $2500 to transport a king county resident from south seattle to harborview in a medical emergency. They stated on the phone that they don't know anything about who gets which service - paid for Medic One or you pay ambulance and why. It feels like they should know this and that they should know why the funding doesn't cover all residents in Seattle. The situation involved seizures which seemed to be a pressing medical emergency.... On November 5, 2019, voters passed King County Proposition 1 which renewed funding for the Medic One/EMS program with a 6-year, 26.5-cent EMS levy. Following is information about the Medic One/EMS system serving Seattle and King County, and what the levy funds through 2025. What is Medic One/EMS? Medic One/EMS services are those that you get any time you call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency in King County. It is available to everyone, whatever the medical emergency. By dialing 9-1-1, callers have immediate access to the system and its excellent medical care, regardless of location, circumstances, or time of day. The Medic One program was started in Seattle in the early 1970s. It now serves a region of nearly 2.3 million in population, and responds on average every 2 minutes to a medical emergency.

And in the quest for the answer, the world's first paramedics came to be. Partnering with the Seattle Fire Department because of their already established coverage of the city, and the firemen's willingness to help those in need - Medic One's first paramedic class went in service in the city of Seattle in March of 1970. Since that day the people who live in Seattle have been able to count on an extension of Harborview's ER showing up at their door within 5 minutes - day or night, no matter the problem.
