Also known as a firefighter, because they only arrive on the scene after it has been deemed safe by a Police Officer.
The second responders will be staging for the stubbed toe until the first responder Police Officer arrives and makes sure the scene is safe.

Anyone that responds to an emergency that is not immediately on the scene when it happens. Ex: police, firefighters, paramedics.
The true first responders are those who are at the scene when the emergency starts and the second responders arrive during or after the situation has already been resolved.
