Currently I serve as Fire Fighter/First Responder on two local fire departments. In Il i technically do not have a legal duty to act, but I have an ethical duty to act. Next year when i become an EMT-B I will have a duty to act, and therefore by law would be required to give assistance unless someone of a higher rank, or someone from that jurdistiction relieves me. A note to EMT's know your states duty to act laws, it can keep you out of trouble. If any of you gusy have more questions feel free to ask, and if i dont know the answer ill find out.
