https://norcalems.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Lassen-EMS-System-Assessment_Final_-1.pdf

50 pages

county population is diving - only 29K now

lots of good info

they get approx $1K per ems call from insurers

private insurers pay about 4X more than medicare etc

3 paid ambulance bases + als amb at prison + 1 medevac helo + als amb
at army base + SAR is als

no or limited EMD

apparently sheriff is primary psap for landlines and chp is primary
psap for cell calls

ambulance dispatchers actually sit in merced calif which is far far far away

cal fire is listed as BLS - they must have EMTs on their engines somehow

med 4 is the uhf med channel that they use

all FDs respond to EMS calls - even the most rural
