If you HAD to volunteer at one of the Emergency Services, which one would you choose?

If I was physically able and could do things (a HUGE IF), I would join the SES as I think they really do a wonderful job for people who cannot fix things after extreme weather.

I have used them a few times while living on 5 acres -once when a large tree blew over my drive and I could not budge it and could not get off my property.

They were there promptly and fixed it within an hour -I was already panicking as felt "hemmed in" not being able to get out.

They also do a wonderful job when people have roofs blown off their houses and things like this.

I would choose the ambulance. It would be such a tough job but hey do amazing work

I'm not physically strong enough to be able to do any kind of emergency work - I would just be a liability to the others on my team!
We don't have volunteers in the UK that I'm aware of, other than St John's Ambulance offering first aid at festivals. In Germany they had a volunteer fire force which seemed quite odd to me - something that important should be a properly paid job in my opinion!

Because of my physical disabilities,I would only be able to work in the 000 call centre. But this is far better than doing nothing!

I would just like to work with donations, sorting them out and distributing them

SES. They cover such a range of problems! Would be very interesting to 'act upon' & 'see' other sides' of life.
