what is a Paramedic Assessment unit? Is it an Engine staffed with a Paramedic and carries all the equipment as the RA, just unable to transport just a unit with a Paramedic but BLS equipment? In my area in Central Florida, almost EVERY Engine and Tower/Truck Company is Full ALS that is why I ask.

Yes a Paramedic Assesment Unit carry's 1 member who is a Trained Paramedic and usually carry's some ALS Gear. Engne 42 in Eagle Rock is a Paramedic Assesment Engine.
