    Any info on Guardian Ambulance in El Monte?

    Guardian was it's own company, but was bought out by RSI/Medic One sometime prior to 2016. Near the end of 2016, RSI/Medic 1 was itself bought out by AmbuServe, who then sold Guardian to MedReach, who pumped a lot of funds into Guardian and now it's back up and running.

    AMR Oregon?

    Is it like here in Los Angeles where there are so many basics they're disposable? Like, if you break one, just throw it in the dumpster out back and grab a new one out of the supply cage?

    Breath sounds/BP

    This. Always have a backup, and practice with the backup to make sure you can use it when needed. You WILL need it

    Guardian Ambulance in Pasadena, CA

    Originally a private, got bought up by my old company Medic 1. Medic1's owner got cancer, and the wife took over. It was all downhill after that, and Ambuserve eventually bought us up.
