On the mercs, they are in the high beam headlights extremely effective. Much better than low beam flashing headlights.

MMW I have spoken to them and even looked at joining and went to a few meetings but not for me. Yes they do have very few RNS and Drs and even fewer Paras. They only make up a small %. And if you read the post i said i wasnt having a go, as stated everyone has their calling. The issue is simple shou...

What i was told is that VFAS is exactly that first aid not ambulance and you are not designated as a emergency service. If you go back a few years when VFAS got the transits they had the red oscilasers on them for around a year. But were changed due to the fact that people were mistaking them for am...

Critical Care Paramedics

Just a broad question how invasive are the critical care protocols? I.E. can they use RSI, IO route tib plus sternum? I read in a news article many moons ago that the critical care guys cannot use any of their advanced skills on road. Why is this? In the US we have a very broad range of skills and m...

Hahaha you guys are so funny.. I you have a look when that vehicle with the amber light bar goes out it is a first aid post not an ambulance and not a PTV. Its an old ambo that is purely first aid events. ALAS dont have PTVs i do know that much. I seen it with first aid post all over it.

I dont know if this belongs here but i saw a ambulance 4x4 troop carrier with similar marks to that of the new ALAS buses KWN freeway northbound today.
I was going to other way so i only got a quite glimpse. Anyone else seen this?
