If your house has a gated fence around it, and you experience a medical emergency and call for an ambulance, are the EMTs allowed to ram through your gate with the ambulance to get to your house and save you?
>>34636613They are not allowed to destroy your personal property based on a possibility that you may need medical assistance. They wouldn’t want to risk being sued afterwards, either.
>>34636613If you give them permission over the phone, yes. Otherwise not.
Firemen will cut down your door if there's a fire so I don't see why paramedics are different if there's an emergency
>>34636613They are
>>34636613It depends on the severity. If it's a broken leg, probably not. If you're having a heart attack or cut a limb off, yea, they would ram through.If your house is on fire and you're inside, they're not going to ask for permission before smashing a window out or destroying a door to get you out.
>>34636654If your house is on fire, it’s obvious that they’ve got the correct house and that it’s not a prank. Police must also have confirmation that a crime is really happening before they break into someone’s house.

>>34636613they use ladders to climb over gate
They wont ram an ambulance that would destroy the life saving equipoment and damage their vehicle. plus risk of getting sued. What they do is they will call the police or fire department to breach because they are allowed by law to breach in order to save you.
