Original article by Ian Urbina for the New York Times from nytimes.com
This article shows us how firefighters from a Washington unit become the target of every medical emergency phone calls, even as much as fire emergency; those calls are about asthma, heart attack or even diabetic sores...
Timeliness isn't a very present element in this article, the ''when'' just tell us that non-fire emergency calls increased in a year but....
Proximity isn't the point too. Washington isn't that close to us.
However, Prominence, Consequence and Human Interest are there:
the event deals with firefighters, people who are charged to protect and react against in case of fire. We can easily imagine that this situation could lead us to a possible modification of the exact conditions of this profession. Then we can see the Human Interest:
people who wish they could go to the hospital but can't, often because of money, can see here an open in the system and could benefit of it.
But this is just an idea..
Even if it is good for people, firefighter aren't that glad, Mr Muyleart said to the New York Times that ''[he] joined the force to battle blazes, not to be an emergency room doctor''.
It is, in fact, really interesting, because people do care about how and by who they are going to be treated in case of accident.
