keep in mind - these are the fdny units - there are also voluntary
units and volunteer units
voluntary units are run by local hospitals - they account for nearly
33% of the onduty ambulances in the 911 system iirc
the volunteer units are unpaid local neighborhood units
hatzolah has 100 ambulances
several private ambulance companies have maybe 500 ambulances total
pretty sure the ems system operates this way in nyc - dial 911 -
police calltaker connects caller to EMS callteker - then ems
dispatcher gives call to fdny amb or voluntary amb or volunteer amb
via fdny ems radio system or fdny mdt system or fdny cad system
if someone calls the 10 digit phone number for a private ambulance
service or a volunteer amb or maybe even a hospital amb - they are
connected to the dispatcher for that service - and they use their
private radio system to dispatch the call - hatzolah and the volunteer
amb definetly have their own radio channels - dont think that any of
the hospital ambs have their own radio channels - they might use
rented radios
