Do I understand correctly ambulances will replace the existing Villages EMT vehicles and use existing staff?

Our village has ordered defibrillators and trained about 100 responders. Our defibrillators are on back order due to supply chain issues.
From what I understand they will be eliminating the quick response units (pickup trucks) we called them aid cars, and replacing them with the ambulances. They are already paramedic staffed as are the engines so other than apparatus familiarization it should be a pretty seamless transition. I’m not sure what the situation is with the county as far as manpower and training.
