From previous posts ->
Please reread all the posts to note that the response time was 6 minutes, not 30; the OP didn't have a clue what happened.
I wasn't aware that we had EMT's that didn't have ambulances.


So, while EMT’s were there in 6 minutes, the patient had to wait another 20 or so minutes for the ambulance to arrive for transportation to the hospital. In Urbana, the fire department ambulance arrives with EMT’s to immediately transport one to a medical facility.

Which system is best? Is cost an overriding factor?
