Special Events

It depends on the event. For these 2 in particular. During the night times we do not transport we will call another pvt ambulance company that we have an agreement. During the show times we transport and will have enough people to do so. During the auto show we can have up to 13 people including 2 ALS ambulances and a supervisor who can take over as the first aid crew if need be. For State Fair we could have up to 20 people including 3 ALS ambulances. It's not a big deal to lose them if we have to.

Now for smaller events that want to purchase transporting services we always try to sell 3 people. That way if the crew has to go transport there still is one on site. We explain this to all of those who call us for services. If they choose not to there is not much we can do. If we gotta go we go and try to hurry back.

Do you have a medical director? To provide anything beyond very basic first aid, many places require a medical director to establish what your scope of practice will be. Have you gotten malpractice insurance?

[Just Plain Ruff]

I think your two biggest hurdles will be what spenac said

malpractice and liability insurance and medical direction. What about protocols?
