A BLS is always assigned with a PRU, if none is available another ALS will be assigned. If another ALS is assigned and they're close enough we will be preempted off. If the other ALS is further we'll do the patient assessment and hand off.
Occasionally we'll have to wait for transport, but...
The fly cars are successful if for no other reason that they ensure a dual dispatch with BLS, freeing up ALS for more actual ALS runs if and when the run is determined to be BLS.
