Level of care

[OklahomaFFEMT]

Curious what your staffing / level of care is. Our (rural) ambulance service in Oklahoma is often just an EMR and EMT on call. While some of you are probably ALS only, what's generally the minimum provider level on the ambulance? Are a lot of you running with two EMTs? EMT and paramedic? Just curious.

Current place is EMT and one medic. New job is medic/medic for one month then EMT with a medic. Fire jumps on to help out if needed.

A nearby county is dual EMT with fire jumping in back of ALS

FT is Medic/Medic or Medic/EMT.

PT is AEMT/EMT or Medic/EMT or AEMT. sometimes 3 depending on staffing. But PT job is 110-130 miles minimum to closest hospital, and we can be up to another 80 miles on top of that, depending where the run starts (station to 80 miles, then back to area of station then 110-130 miles to hospital) so sometimes 2 in back is nice; until you get everything done to stabilize the patient, then it is try to stay awake during the rest of the transport.
