In my area, several Fire Departments operate BLS Ambulances as their medical response units. My question is, if I were to dispatch a BLS and an ALS Ambulance for one patient, would the ALS Ambulance take over? Or would I need to manually cancel the BLS unit (I'd try it myself but the area in which I could is without the necessary resources)?

Calls will generate wherever you move the station, but any pending calls will stay where you initially were
-
That feature is still in the works according to the game's Facebook. BLS can currently only handle A and B level patients.
-
The Traffic Accident - Ice mission is missing patient information, and so I believe the rest of the Christmas missions may be as well.

Thank you for bringing this up. Could you please elaborate on your first part. Do you mean the link that takes your straight to the vehicle when you purchase a new vehicle that appears at the top of the page?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. It seems to appear on mobile, but not on PC.

Also, BLS Ambulances are not taking over patient care from Non-EMS units. I had to cancel an Engine on a Road Accident so that my ambulance would begin treatment.
-
I know that BLS is new to the game and this bug is incredibly minor, but it is noticeable nonetheless. Upon purchasing other vehicles, links to in appear at the top of the window. I noticed just now, however, that these are not present when purchasing a BLS Ambulance, meaning that I have to back into the building overview and select the truck from there. Again, this is incredibly minor but I figured that I'd bring it up at least.

I know that this bug has recently been addressed, but I've come across another call that is still mission the patient codes.

A Foam Trailer I feel like is what you guys are thinking of.

In order to transport a patient, you must purchase a hospital. However, you can handle EMS calls without a hospital by simply releasing patients on-scene.
This game is very much active, especially the larger alliances. There are many dead alliances, but don't let that deter you.
-
As far as my alliance and I have been able to tell, these calls are just insanely rare. There may be a bug preventing them from spawning, but you have everything you need to get them.
-
I personally use a rescue engine with a reduced personnel count, but that could just be me.
-
While yes, more people equals faster clear time, I've also found that more engine-capable trucks also clear the calls rather quickly. Though I personally like the units for realism. Part of my area runs a LOT of combination units and I like to be able to set stations up as realistically as I can regardless of how long it takes to clear a call.
-
From what I can tell, the game tends to bombard you with your most recently "unlocked" call. I.e. you get lots of Hazmat right after you build your 11th fire station and a lot of SWAT after your 8th police station.
On the topic of realism, however, I agree with the "this is a game" perspective. In my area, entire days will go by without a single call. Period. While I take a realistic approach to apparatus and stations, I greatly appreciate the high call volume as it keeps me entertained. Not to say that I don't want there to be some believability (I get industrial fires in places where it's just a wheatfield XD), but I also enjoy thinking about how my area would respond to such an unbelievable series of calls.

I apologize if this rubs off as rude or anything, but this is an issue of you expanding too quickly. I suggest glancing over the list of possible missions before you expand to see what kind of resources you're going to need.
-
The alert goes away
-
I believe that's been discussed before. If I remember correctly, I believe that the mods said that the current system makes any automation impossible
-
From a game perspective it allows you to choose to which hospital the patient is transported. It's not particularly realistic, but it adds a certain amount of challenge and something else to do.
