Abstract
Paris and three adjacent départements come under the responsibility of the BSPP (Brigade de Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris, Paris Fire Brigade), with an overall population of over 6 million. To carry out its daily rescue work the BSPP is organized in two sections: a section for immediate on-site aid, represented by first-aid teams, distributed in 78 relief centres; and a medical section, represented by seven intensive-care ambulances, distributed in six different territories. All operations involving medical assistance are coordinated by a physician-in-charge. There is also a permanent director of medical relief (DMR).
