Derogatory title for members of the Providence Fire Department assigned to a Rescue Company (EMS Division).
Originated as a malicious term sometime from the 1960s-1990s when being part of the EMS Division was seen as lesser work by those on Engine and Ladder Companies.
Today it is used jokingly, especially in reference to how the department's Rescue Techs (Medics) are overworked.
"Rescue really blows."
