Being a good neighbor means we are all first responders no matter what day it is, and I likewise believe America as a nation began to fall, when Americans began to put all such responsibility to others paid to do so.
Nonetheless, your non-answer is admission:
No Sabbath-keeper can be hired into the military, police, emergency care, fire department, political office, etc...as a career. They must keep to themselves and not interfere in any public business and affairs of authority.
No Sabbath-keeper can do any work of employment that by its' very nature demands weekend duty, whether it be Saturday or Sunday according to the day held by them as a Sabbath.
Sabbath-keeping by commandment in modern society is not just a cessation of employed work on a certain day, but is of necessity a withdrawal from any and all paid public authority and duty. They also cannot own businesses, nor be managers and bosses in businesses that remain open on their Sabbath, because then they would be managing and bossing people to work on a Sabbath, which they would then be partakers of breaking the Sabbath.
Neither should they accept any paid service from employees on their Sabbath, lest they partake of the employee's sin on the Sabbath. That would now also include deliveries to home.
They also can conduct no buying nor selling in markets, lest they likewise partake of others breaking a Sabbath:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
There are no real Sabbath-keepers today, as there was in the old covenant, where such a Sabbath was commanded, and every Israelite was indeed supposed to be a first responder to neighbors in any matter of emergency, care, and war.
Sabbath keepers cannot live in nursing homes, nor accept such paid service in their homes on their Sabbath day. If they are taken unwillingly to an emergency ward, then they must depart before the next Sabbath, or have their fellow Sabbath keepers come and release them. They cannot schedule any surgery nor medical aid on their Sabbath days.
Since all such things are now done by employed Sabbath breakers, no such assistance by them while employed can be allowed, lest a Sabbath-Commander partake of their sin of employment on the Sabbath.
There are no Sabbath-keepers anymore, only Sabbath-commanders who like to think they truly keep a Sabbath, as the Israelites of old, who were commanded to do so. A real Sabbath keeper must live out of range of any such employed responders, lest they partake of their Sabbath breaking sins: I.e. them that dwell in the rocks and caves, seeking surety against partaking of other men's sins of Sabbath breaking by employment duty.
Finally, all Sabbath keepers by commandment are judges of others according to their Sabbath days, even judging one another in the day of the Sabbath. There is no commandment of God, that God does not judge by. Nor are there any keepers of His commandments that do not judge with His judgment. James judged that people who do not fulfill their royal law of loving their neighbors are dead in faith: that is a judgment made according to the royal law, which is a commandment of God.
There are no commandments of God that are not law of God, and no commandment of God is without judgment of God, even as no law of God is without transgression of it, by them that do not obey.
Every Sabbath keeper by commandment must judge Sabbath breakers as transgressors of God's law, and wilfully sinning by breaking His commandment.
Don't be a hypocritical Sabbath commanding Pharisee

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29)
Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. (Mark 3:4)
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? (Matthew 12:11)
