    So.... We should leave the elderly woman who's incapacitated on her bedroom floor there to rot? Where do you volley/work? I want to make sure I don't have family that lives there.

    This is the topic of our volunteer ambulance corp at the moment. we are trying to figure out who should be taking the lift assist calls. We have answered a ton of list assists calls over the past years that come in and then another serious call comes in and either does get covered after multiple tones or goes mutual aid due to the early morning calls or short staffed.

    I beleive personally that fire guys or police should be able to go out and help with the lift assist calls. If an ambulance is needed then call us but just to lift up the elederly and place them back in bed should be able to be handled by fd or police.

    And that is why all of the 60-Control dispatchers are EMD, so they don't send a medic on to pick up Mrs. Jones after she fell out of her wheelchair again this week.

    Yes but I agree with firedude, When a call comes over as fallin indiviual, it doesnt always say lift assist so a medic and a rig responds and turns into just a lift assist now you have taken a medic and rig oos until the call is cleared when a major car accident or cardiac arrest comes over.

    All togeather a rescue or Engine should be able to respond and pick up the patient.

    In many locations around my area, the staff arent allowed to help lift patients up even though its a assisted living facilities.
