ladies and gentleman it was refreshing to have a discusion on everyone different opinion the usage of light and sirens and the use of bls and als .have a good night

your area works different .if you procedure is l/s only if bls is with als than that is your protical.

we dont have the als man power like yours I guess.

The what ever was to a different conversation

a question was brought up.Should Bls be dispatched to Emergencies,The answer is yes bls is the first line in for prehospital care. In my area there are a heck of alot more bls than als .Without Bls alot of people would die.

what ever !!

Every state in the US has different protocols for the usage of lights and sirens in responding ..

When it comes to where we are yes I do agree with what you are saying als and also bls units are using l/s way to many time and even alot of bls calls with out als can be and should be down graded to a normal responce(no Light or siren to the hospital).

You can say that the ems uses lights and sirens for the most b/s reasons like the drunk parked is butt on the sidewalk that you know is going to be a fun and BUMPY ride to the hospital.But when you say lights and sirens about fire department using llights and siren at three am for a stupid dumpster fire 100 ft from and building ,well I have to say we as a responding unit to that b/s fire call dont realize what it is until the first unit gets on scene so yes even three am light and siren down the road due to the civilian the just reported that stupid fire is prob trying to get to dunkin donuts to buy coffee and not paying attention to the fire truck or ambulance responding to that bullshit call that it was just dispatched too.

Well thanks for the funny pics but seriuosly I been thinking about a used police vehicle or trying to get a donation from a car dealership for a tahoe or other type of vehicle. this would be a non-transporting vehicle.

I am interested in starting a first responder vehicle for my ambulance corps but don't know how to start the process in making this happen due to budget issues .Anyone that can give me any ideas it would greatly help.
