Not with those PL tones. CTCSS (PL) are all conventional. P25 would have a NAC access tone.

When listening to them, don't get too excited over their tone outs. They routinely send out full assignments for drill without announcing it at the end of the tone out. I listened to an "active shooter" call for 6 minutes before someone said "drill."

where i'm from, a chase is something like a Tahoe, equipped with ALS gear and a medic. they will provide ALS back up to a BLS ambulance. if the call does not require ALS interventions, the ambulance takes the call and the chase car goes back in service. if the call requires ALS, the provider gets off the chase and goes in the ambulance and the EMT drives the chase car to the hospital.
its a way to keep personnel costs down. an ALS provider typically makes more money, having every ambulance staffed with a medic and with most calls being BLS, you would have an ambulance with a higher paid medic on it performing the same skills as an EMT.
it always comes down to money!

No, the chase vehicle simply brings more highly trained personnel to the scene. The ambulance would still transport, sometimes with the personnel from the chase vehicle on board.
