Star ambulance la county

[ITBITB13]

Anyone work for star ambulance in la county? I ran into one of their rigs while posting at a Starbucks parking lot. It looked like it hadn't been washed in months, and the tags were expired. Since May 2013. What's the deal with that.? I didn't see the crew, and had no idea who they were, but I for one would refuse to go out in a rig like that.

No, they're called "Star" Ambulance. It was yellow on black. It gave me an energy drink vibe.

Are you sure it wasn't decommissioned Ambulance? Google shows there was only one Ambulance actually called star Ambulance and they seems to have closed.

Definitely not a decommissioned ambulance. I witnessed them pull up, with a patient in the back. They were dropping off at a local hospital.

Perhaps they stole it from a lot somewhere and are secretly running illicit dialysis transfers. Who knows? I've heard shadier things about LA EMS...

They are from what i understand illegitimate. Seen the crews running one ambulance. Thwy run the hole in the wall con home calls etc. They run mostly after 5pm but can be spotted alll over east LA and downtown. Not so much at the main hospitals. They play hopscotch with dot.

I don't get company's that don't get la license. It's very easy to get one. There is however legal way to run in L.A. without actually having the license. Drop off patient in l.a. and don't move the rig till patient is ready to go back. Basically being you don't "transfer " patient control fully, it's continuation of transportation and as such it's not consider to be separate pick up which would require a license.
