Was just watching "Fox 2: news about a hit and run tonight. The guy reprting said the vic was transported by "the dertoit fire department" and a half second later, when he realized EMS and fire are seperate "ems". Was kind of funny to watch.

Nothing strange there! We are part of the Detroit Fire Department. We are not part of Fire Fighting Division. The not so funny thing is prior to you comming to Detroit Fire Department the past Mayors would call us Fire fighters. So by the news calling us Detroit Fire Department they would be correct.

I can understand that. I cant remember the reporters name but he is a paid call FF somewhere. I thought it was funny that he paused for a second and added EMS like he just remembered that the are two division, Fire and EMS within the FD.
