Hi there. I know there are a few MOH govt types on here, i have a question.
I live near Halton EMS station #4 in Aldershot and have gotten very used to seeing a particular unit #3176 reply to calls in my general area. Lately, #3176 gets calls in more northern regions, Milton, Georgetown and is asked to "code 8 to 7 station" now.
Today I saw #3196, normally from what I remember, out of Mohawk Raceway area, station #6 I think, responding to a call in central Burlington. I am hearing them a lot more lately.
Now I know that EMS units go to calls "closest unit" (lived in Torono long enough) but is it possible that ambulances get switched, maybe to save wear and tear, maximilize use, etc?
I think Hamilton PD does this also,
Anyone know
PM if this is a sensitive subject
