My wife works in a home and when they have a transfer to the hospital an ambulance comes as well as a fire truck. Doesn't make sense!

And this is no emergency. It is just a transfer.

Different areas have response rules. Some go to all call some not. We run the ambulances and fire trucks. So have selected call types we go to.

So is there tracking or documentation to see how many times there was "over kill" on the man-power situation?

We send the fire truck as part of service to residence of the City. No billing for it.it is tracked

Morning everyone.

You have missed my point kind sir. The fire truck and the ambulance go together so there is added personnel. I get that part.

What about the times when that added personnel is overkill. Is that documented and discussed or is there just too much money in the budget for this to be an issue?
