Vanda – No safety precautions in this country sigh
Emmalart – It is noteworthy that the Fire Department and Police Department consistently exhibit exemplary responsiveness in handling emergencies. However, the response times of the Ambulance Service often fall short of expectations and require improvement for efficient medical assistance.
