Re: luzerne county PA - 'no crew' reports for ems

looking at the 2016 county ems plan - it is apparent that the vols
were having a hard time getting crews together

https://www.luzernecounty.org/DocumentCenter/View/10732/EMSPlan?bidId=

the policy was to do retones at 3 minutes and 6 minutes and then go to
mutual aid

they did not do 'dual dispatch' - not sure what that means exactly -
it might mean that the county 911 center would not tone a vol amb and
a private amb at the same time to go to a single ems call - why???

surely with some flip cards it would not be that hard to do 'dual
dispatch' - have a daytime card and a nightime card - Wyoming Amb -
day time - page Wyoming Amb and Bobs Ambulance to all calls - night
time - page Wyoming Amb only - 2nd due is Pittaton Ambulance - etc -
seems simple enough
