I currently have a all ambo layout for my UK setup, but I want to include fly cars as well.
so my questions are what category medical calls can fly cars clear on scene is is A and B calls?
Secondly do the flycars travel at a faster speed than regular ambos?
Fly-cars can clear some A calls by themselves, but not all the time. Sometimes they will request an ambulance for transport. Fly-cars can clear B calls by themselves + a BLS ambulance. They travel at the same speed as ambulances, as do all units. This is due to the game / maps restrictions.
I usually operate like:
A - Could be only flycar
B - BLS Ambulance
C - Flycar + BLS Ambulance
D - Flycar + BLS Ambulance or ALS Ambulance
E - ALS Ambulance or AirAmbulance or, if none is available (rare, but it can happen) BLS + Flycar
For UK I’d recommend this.
I have all my vehicles on a time before they actually deploy after being dispatched.
For example all my basic vehicles e.g ambulances and fire engines are 20 seconds whilst response vehicles are 10 and specialist vehicles are 40-60.
So I generally either send an RRV on patrol or as they get there 10 seconds quicker or whatever due to dispatch times send to serious calls. And also calls were you have a lot of patients as they can assist in treatment and your ambulances can transport back and forth to the hospital.
Also in UK all our ambulances are ALS and the only ‘BLS’ ambulances we operate are Urgent Care Ambulances which only select services I have, as far as I’m aware that’s NWAS, WMAS, and SWAS.
You can also use RRVs as advanced paramedic or trauma teams etc for Roleplay purposes and send them to the most serious calls.
This whole ALS BLS system is set up just like how my county does dispatching over the radio with A being the lowest priority and E being highest, E usually means someone is dead or might as well be dead and A we usually respond without lights or sirens and follow all traffic laws as if we were going to pick up food or fill the gas tank.
Ye UK is different. Our calls are ordered CAT 1 - 4, 1 being the most serious, an immediate threat to life, e.g cardiac arrest, serious trauma, etc. Cat 2 is the most of our calls being life threatening e.g assault, breathing difficulties, bleeding etc. Cat 3 is still an emergency but doesn't require a response, calls such as fallen person, minor injuries, sepsis. Cat 4 being urgent like a patient transfer or something minor like that, dependent on the service it's dealt with differently but my service NWAS, often refer to a healthcare professional over the phone to treat it or transfer to the urgent care desk which might send an urgent care ambulance or doctor etc (urgent care ambo is our equivalent of BLS but they're rare).
All of our calls are responded to on blue lights and sirens.
Cat 1 should be responded to in about 8 minutes.
Cat 2 about 20 minutes.
Cat 3 about an hour.
Cat 4 about 4 hours.
