Alameda County downgrades some responses

https://www.jems.com/articles/2019/06/rational-911-response.html

California - near San Francisco

minor calls will now get just 1 ambulance with no lights and no sirens
- in order to keep resources available for higher priority calls

note - allergic reaction shows up as Priority 1 and Priority 4 -
depends on exact dispatch determinant - which depends on exact info
received by calltaker

I wonder if handling a call with no lights and sirens will tie up a
unit 2 X longer than usng lights and sirens?

Can units be taken off Pr 4 calls and put on higher priority calls? I
certainly hope so
