How does ur country respond to your urgencies?

[Pikiboy]

Sincerely I am coming from the 3rd or 4th world Country, where emergency response are too poor and the security aspect is nothing to write home about.
The reason why I raised this topic is that, in other countries their emergency numbers responds very faster than anything else in our country, let say when there is a fire out break within a few minutes you would see their fire emergencies system will quickly respond to that urgency but in our country, I am not sure if they would respond even in the next 48hrs to know what was the problems.
There was a fire out break weeks ago were a well known car dealer lost all his cars in his stands due to the failed security system in our country and the lack of rescue team made him loss everything and no single car that was rescued.

Has such a thing happened in your country?

Officially, there is no forth world countries. Your country is probably classified among the third world country.

I know the country that you are referring to.

I noticed fire fighters are trying in your country, but they need more funds.

Do not think it can not also happen in other countries, especially if the fire is caused by PMS (petrol) or gas.

You can post the news about how it happened so that we can have better discussion about it.

That’s hasn't happened where I live, but I live in a first-world country and I know of a case of sudden cardiac arrest that was miraculously saved. The person fell to the ground, and the person next to him knew how to perform CPR, while others called the emergency number. However, the first responders to arrive 15 minutes later weren’t the ambulance, but the police, and the ambulance arrived another 20 or 25 minutes later. In total, during 45 minutes people took turns performing CPR on him until the ambulance arrived, and miraculously, he’s alive and has no lasting effects. That happened in an urban area, not out in the middle of the woods.

On average, emergency services function better in first-world countries, but they have their limitations.

In my country, the most agile are firefighters rather than police. We just need to call the fire department and then arrive but when there is some kind of theft etc. report to the police the response rate is very bad, slow and too verbose even if necessary we have to give bribes so that it is faster to respond and that makes many cases difficult to solve.

Maybe it is this news that I also watched a video of on social media.

You notice that emergency response did not work mainly because of a lack of support from the government. The cause often is a lack of water, lack of petrol to power their fire trucks, no emergency personnel on the ground due to no employment, etc. It is usually one unreasonable reason or the other.  

If you find any functioning firefighter service, it is privately owned, not from the government. Sometimes it is not because of a lack of funds to improve emergency responses that is the problem, it is corruption still.

He took 3 hours before the firefighters was able to get there, in a country that the government will be on the neck of the car dealer if he does not pay tax. The government of many countries have failed, collecting tax not to improve the country. This is very bad. Where are your money for tax going? Firefighters supposed to be government owned, but private ones can also be additional help.
