About 3 seconds on Google shows it is a hoax ("nsw ambulance ice" without
the quotes).

Personally I've seen enough of this type of email that I'm immediately
suspicious and hit Google for all of them, although in this case it pretty
much stands out itself - the wording isn't what you'd expect from an
organisation like the NSW Ambulance service, incorrect capitalisation, use
of "&", etc.

But the real give away?  US spelling...  "recognized"

  Scott.
