Description
As the primary ambulance provider for the city of San Diego, paramedics with Falck respond to a high volume of calls daily.
Paramedic supervisor, Abid Nader, and the rest of the men and women at Falck provide life-saving treatment to San Diegans, tourists, and in some cases, migrants.
“We cover the border and we deal with a lot of stuff that's going on with the border with migrants being stuck between the fence," said Nader.
Nader says it’s a high-risk job that can be physically strenuous and at times, often involving life-or-death situations.
Falck and other ambulance providers across the nation are facing an EMT and paramedic shortage.
