Question 6 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

After the Civil War in the late 1800s and before the government stepped in to oversee providing emergency services to civilians, what organizations, issues, and individuals helped to pave the way for the institution of EMS services in the 1960s? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
morticians
B
fire departments
C
computer network technicians
D
hospitals

Explanation

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, morticians often transported sick or injured people in hearses, while fire departments and hospitals became involved in emergency response and ambulance services. These early services helped lay the groundwork for modern EMS. Computer network technicians did not play a role in developing emergency medical services.
