How many how many ambulances do you have in your fleet?

Evan Suchecki

0:32:26

So currently, right now, our frontline fleet number is 669

Joann Ariola

0:32:30

And how many are on the street?

Evan Suchecki

0:32:33

Minus 143 based on the out of service brings us to 526 currently available.

Joann Ariola

0:32:38

Currently available.

0:32:40

Okay.

0:32:41

The ambulances that are out of service are that are that were they were out of service due to staffing will now be put back in.

0:32:48

Correct?

0:32:49

And but how many of them are ALS versus BLS ambulances?

Evan Suchecki

0:32:54

So anything that's out of service based on staffing is more an operational question.

0:32:58

Anything that's out of service based on fleet is not necessarily ALS versus BLS.

0:33:03

An ambulance is an ambulance.

0:33:04

It's based on the personnel that EMS operations assigns to it.

0:33:08

So we do our best just to turn the vehicles around so EMS operations can utilize them as needed.
