Usually AMR or Medic West, the two private companies here in the valley do the transports. A County rig will transport some of the time depending on what kind of call it is. The county and the private rigs are almost always dual dispatched to calls

Thanks for the reply. I guess this is another westcoast version of EMS. It just seems strange to have transport units that do not transport. What is the purpose of have a private company doing EMS when the county/city has transport unit? I assume whoever transports gets the money?
Thanks
