Where does a paramedic work?

A paramedic works in the living room of the lady with too many cats, the bank where a man collapsed, and the rain filled ditch where a kid flipped his car. Paramedics work where ever they are needed, but their 'office' is the back of an ambulance.

Outside of a call, a paramedic would either be 'staging' an ambulance somewhere in the ambulances area wherever dispatch tells you to stage. This involves sitting in the ambulance and working on reports, reading a book, or otherwise occupying your time while you wait for another call.

Otherwise, a medic may operate out of a base, similar to a fire fighter.
