What are differences between paramedics and ambulance crew or are they the same?

Can be same: Paramedics can be found in ambulances, in a "chase car, " or on some fire engines, depending on where you live. Ambulance crew can be to paramedics, or one with an emt-basic (or intermediate) or "ambulance driver" as a partner. If a "driver, " likely only first responder and CPR trained (more common w/volunteer agencies due to staff availability).
