technician, emergency medical technician, rescuer, or mobile intensive
care paramedic; and "volunteer" means that the person
is an active volunteer of a first responder service, a rescue service,
an ambulance service, or a fire department that provides emergency
medical or rescue services as part of its duties. AS
