Contract mandates can require newer equipment. And usually the company that has the 911 contract has the profitable hospital and IFT contracts. So the money hole that 911 is, is worth it for the profitability the IFT contracts are.From employees to management, I've always heard this. "There's no money in 911. The real bread and butter is IFT." Then why do all the mad money making IFT companies have the worst most blown out equipment and the barely breaking even 911 companies have the better equipment?
Vegas has separated 911 from IFT and it seems to work just fine. As a basic If you want to work a 911 car in Vegas, you need to do your time on a event shift or IFT car before you get certified as an EMT-Intermediate and get assigned to shifts in the 911 system.
