Bravo units on PF&R Talkroups??

Hello all.

A few times, I've heard Bravo Units On Portland Fire
Tapout and on Ops-1...

Anyone know what Bravo units are??

Thanks.

They are Basic Life Support units for basic first aid or ride to the hospital. No paramedic. A step above a taxi, but below a regular AMR ALS Ambulance. I think AMR staffs them with 2 EMT Basics??? Maybe someone who doesn't avoid Portland can confirm this.
BLS transports (wheelchair vans) normally only have 1 EMT Basic driving. Think First Aid kit, Oxygen and AED.
I think there's a post not too long ago that discusses this more in depth.

• Thank you for the fast reply.
I searched everywhere for that post
that you are referring to and can't find a thing.

Do you possibly have a link to it?

I looked also and I guess I was r r r r wrong. I was sure it had been a form post.
*EDIT - it was this B400 units in Multnomah County EMS
