Has anyone thought of or worked on a private, fire based ambulance?
Scenario: EMT X works at Private ALS Ambulance Company, but also is a volunteer with BLS Fire Dept. Medic Y is in the same boat.
ALS Private decides that they will put an ambulance at BLS Fire that says Fire on the side, is at Fire's station and is staffed by EMT X and Medic Y, who are both trained as FF, but also as the ambulance crew.
Basically, Private ALS pays for the crew and supplies, and gets to bill for the transports, and Fire BLS gets an ALS rig and two more people to help with fire suppression. X and Y would be on a private suppression ambulance.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Improvements?
