This is a call for discussions for a new newsgroup called misc.emergency-services This newsgroup is for all emergency services, ie. ems, fire, police, etc. After a posting to the fire and ems mailing lists, there was strong indication that such a newsgroup would be beneficial. So that proper channels can be followed, this discussion will continue until 4 July 1989, when a call for votes will commence. Those of you who have already voted, I will hold your votes. This newsgroup will be for discussions of specific calls, situations, remedies, problems, equipment, etc. that affect the emergency services.

Sounds good to me. I would especially like to have the newsgroup include discussions about treating injuries and medical problems while in the backcountry, where the liklihood of having extensive equipment or expertise is remote. I would also hope that mountain rescue (which necessitates medical treatment) would be included in the scope of this group. Randy Marks

It might be worth considering that not all systems running the Netnews software can handle an 18 character long directory name, which is what would be needed with the current software implementation. -- Ron Heiby, heiby@chg.mcd.mot.com Moderator: comp.newprod "Life is indeed an inexplicable sequence of imponderable surprises."
