EMS

    Hello everyone just looking for some clarification please. Can anyone explain few questions I have.


    1. EMS Operations Support function/purpose?

    2. EMS Mobile Command unit function/purpose?

    3. I remember reading a while ago that one of the two listed above wasn't really needed. That you could just train two people and put them in a EMS cheif vehicle. Which of the two above is this true for?

    4. EMS Cheif purpose/function?

    5. Mass Casualty unit number of pts it can transport?


    Thank you.

    1) I believe this just speeds up the treatment of patients.

    2) Same as a fire-based MCC just required for x number of patients.

    3) You are correct, you do not really need 1 or 2 and you can place EMS Command trained personnel in the EMS Chief vehicle.

    4) Same as a Battalion Chief for FD, it's an EMS Supervisor who coordinates the mass casualty response. Any incident with 10 or more patients requires one.

    5) The MCI unit if I recall correctly can transport 7 patients.
