There is a full compliment of ALS equipment on the engines. The apparatus are licensed as Class 5 ambulances and require one medic on each. The ambo has 2 always. If the engine is by itself on a call and operates at the ALS level, another ALS unit is dispatched such as Action or Armstrong to make the 2nd medic for the transport or the will treat the patient if our ambulance is returning from the hospital. It works good for us but we are limited in resources because our mutual aid ambulances are bls.
