Race to the Finnish - Helsinki

Preface

What do you need to run a great ambulance service? In our series looking at the brands that make our lives work, we visited the City of Helsinki Rescue Department to find out. It employs 570 full-time rescue and emergency personnel and, in 2006, carried out almost 37,000 paramedic missions. The department designs and develops much of the equipment it uses in conjunction with leading manufacturers.
