no way revealing
10 years ago

I am not trying to be insensitive but are all these EMS calls which by the way require a fire truck as well, going to the same house, do they pay for it? It seems that it may be attention this person is seeking as well. And shouldn’t they have a private service if our town services have to go there at least once a week?

Also to shed more light on your question “no way revealing” it is most beneficial to have a town run ambulance by the fire dept. as opposed to a private ambulance company. A fire dept. run ambulance can generate income for the town where as a private ambulance would not. The patients insurance would cover the medical costs for transport, use of IV’s etc. More towns and cities are transitioning to fire dept. ambulance services. Firefighters today are required to be paramedics or EMTS. Many towns and cities have calls that are routinely for elderly housing complexes or medical buildings. If SFD is at an ambulance call when another medical call arises, there are mutual aid agreements where another fire ambulance from a neighboring town would come to help. If a fire truck goes to a medical call, it is probably is for additional help with moving a patient or keeping a patient stable regarding their medical condition. Fire engines or ladder trucks can also be considered “non transporting ambulances” because of the type of medical equipment they carry and the medical training the crew has.
