What if you could keep hundreds of low-acuity patients a week from having to needlessly go to the emergency room?

Included are tasks that can be accomplished by the rapid intervention team (RIT) to “soften up” not just the structure but also the entire scene so that we can access the structure in a more rapid fashion to rescue the firefighter.
