I have herd from the interweb 500 ambulances have been deployed to NYC via FEMA.
AMR would be the only company I can think of that could fill such a order
Any truth to it?
Also a clarification question. I asked before this all started about number of ambulances on the street at a given time and was advised something like "300 tours" . Do you guys consider a Tour to be a staffed unit of a single medic working or the total ambulances in a 24 hr period (3 shifts =100 units) ?
We here in the west talk in terms of #als unit (EMT/PM) and BLS units (EMT/EMT)
So say in Las Vegas, AMR has 40 busses in service with 3 shifts so at any time 40 busses.
Sorry, just trying to get my head around 5000 calls in a 24hr period. :-[
