Medical-type EMS calls refer to medical problems that originated from internal responses. The leading medical problem is Cardiac, which is anything that has to do with the cardiovascular system. This includes Myocardial Infractions (Heart Attacks, also referred to as a STEMI or Non-STEMI depending on what kind), cardiac arrest, shock, blood clots, and similar items. CVAs, or Strokes, are a common emergency where a blood clot or bleed occur in the brain. Respiratory emergencies involve anaphalaxis (severe allergic reaction), asthma attacks, pulmonary embolisms, and anything else that affects the lungs and breathing. Overdoses make up the second largest portion of medical calls, with opioid overdoses being the leading overdose. Psychiatric, Environmental (snake bites, CO2 poisoning, Heat Exposure, etc), Diabetic, and Miscellaneous Pain all also fall under the medical category.

The type of trauma EMS deals with is exclusively physical trauma. The most common type are Falls, with the majority of those being from standing height or less than 10 feet. It is not uncommon for Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) to occur from small falls, especially in geriatric populations. Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVAs) are the most known kind of trauma, and a rescue squad will be sent to every MVA unless otherwise cancelled. Some accidents are minor, while others involve people becoming Entrapped (unable to exit the vehicle due to damage) or Pinned-In (parts of the vehicle are physical holding the occupant down in the vehicle). Burns are also a type of trauma and are seen at their worst in structure fires. Crush Injuries are where a large, heavy object falls on top of a person and crushes part(s) of the body in a way that deforms them and restricts blood flow. Tractors flipping over is a common example.
