In Japan, Most emergency medical service comes from the city fire department. Where both EMT and Paramedic service is offer. With Doctor support on the radio. Some hospitals have private ambulances.

When a Very High Medical Emergency call comes in. City Management could use teams of on-call Medical Staff from hospitals. This would bring doctors to the scene of the emergency.

I also think the Japanese Red Cross could help if needed.

More likely Military Medical support can be call in if the Emergency is very major.

Emergency Medical is provided regionally in the UK with most large hospitals having an ambulance depot and there are occassionally ambulance stations dotted around where there isn't a hospital. Each region will have a varying number of standardised ambulances and RRV's and some, depending on location, may have specialist kit.

I could have sworn you said in your Country? Do you live in China? No.

Anyways, country, i live in the USA and it carries. Hard to describe EMS based on the cuntry but lets see here, its pretty much either the fire department provides EMS, or a private company. In terms of country, discussion over.

Now if you want to narrow it down to say, city, in that case FD provides first in medical aid until AMR arrives for ALS and patient transfer.

we have me lol. which is southwest district ambulance service. as for the private transfer company thats the henry county sheriffs department ambulance

Your SD has an ambulance? The only time I really remember seeing ambulances is they were once used for CSI here, and I think they still should be as theyd have far more storage room then the pos jeep Cherokees we use now.

In the town where I live,a private company provides ambulance service. In the large city directly connected (Boston) there is a City EMS service with backup coming from several private services. In more rural towns, the fire department provides EMS service, though n most cases they only provide BLS service and a private company has the ALS contract.

I don't think Xplorer cares, he was pointing out that the title states your country and you talk about China, which isn't the country you are in.

That is the coolest ambulance picture I've seen. When were the yellow ambulances introduced?

yes they do have an ambulance service lol. They provide backup 911 to the city of New Castle and we contract our paramedic through them haha. they drive a SD ford explorer with full sheriff markings and a red/blue light bar, but with all their ALS gear in the back. they go to the scene and then once we arrive they decide whether or not to transport with us.

Here in Canada, EMS is **Mainly** a seperate service for the Fire Department. There aren't any private EMS Companies that I know of, not that run 911 calls. We do have St John's Ambulance, etc., but, as said, they dont run 911 calls. In the Niagara Region, we have Niagara Emergency Medical Service (NEMS). NEMS has one Paramedic, and one EMT on every ambulance, that way, there's no discrepency on which rig to send. Closest rig gets the run. Now, in Fort Erie, if it is a life threatening situation, and the ambulance is more than 8 minutes away, we also send Fire. Our Pumps don't go, we send a Rescue or Heavy Rescue, depending on the district :P Its pretty complicated :P
