Paramedic assessment rigs have one paramedic, regular paramedic rigs have two. Depending on how the call is triaged you could get a paramedic assessment unit in first followed by a "paramedic unit" plus a a BLS ambulance.
Thanks, why the difference?
Would I be correct to assume that a paramedic from the engine transports with the BLS ambulance if ALS care is rendered?

Usually, the paramedics on the medic vans do the follow up to the hospital.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?

That is correct.. since there are only so many paramedic units and/or paramedic engines, many of the busier cities/areas also have the paramedic assessment engines. Orange County has many standing ALS orders so once a medic assessment engine arrives on scene, the single paramedic can start treatment right away. In some areas, you will get an assessment engine or regular engine and then a paramedic engine. BLS ambulance on all calls with transport, usually with both medics aboard.
