Manpower on certain medical calls

Just a quick thought for the more serious "Echo" medical runs .

Many jurisdictions add manpower to go with ems to these runs , whether it be engine ,truck , heavy rescue or even just a utility or brush .

Anything they generated an "E" like a 9-E cardiac arrest , 6-E breathing, 2E Allergy or others like that.

We already send an engine on the object stuck in a person , which I'd like to see changed to any manpower piece and not just an engine

where I live in the King/Pierce county WA on CVA/full codes I've seen multi units on scene, 1 BC. 2-3 Engines, 1-2 RA's, 1-2 MSO's and at times 1 HR and sometimes a Dist. Chief

The balancing act of creating missions that work for all, makes things a bit more difficult.

Where in large cites, a tiered response to Echo determinants may occur, however in smaller areas that may not be the case.

In addition, medical only missions generally only payout for the patient (the mission doesn't actual pay itself).

I would recommend, if you're playing for realism, on Echo calls, send what you would normally send for your area (without it necessarily being a requirement).
