Hey all,

Just wondering what your guys & girls thoughts were on Cameras in Ambulances.

So any for or against reasons for Cameras in Ambulances?

I myself are for them. It may help with training and catch out those whom refuse to move for a vehicle on lights and sirens

Do Metro SJA Ambulances have cameras fitted to catch out these individuals whom fail to provide a uninterrupted path for the Ambulance.

hey guys bit off topic but dont know where else to put it without starting a new one. In the last week i have seen 3 st john ambulances go through intersections, on 2 occasions a red light with lights flashing but no siren. was just wondering if there was a protocol they had to follow or not because with the bush vollies we have to have siren on all the time with beacons going. cheers for any help

[Markmywords]

Totally bizarre maybe the siren was broken

this has been discussed previously. was it at night or during the day

I've also seen an ambo with siren on, but no lights what so ever during the DAY through a busy red light. Can the siren be activated but not the lights?

twice during day and once on sunset

The light and siren button are seperate and any P1 must have both activated at all times (but the 3am call in the morning you'll see lights on only and sirens activated at a red light/stop sign etc) FESA/WAPOL anytime day or night if its a emergency call ive always seen them with them on (my house is to the back of a major rd and hear fesa at least once a night after 12am screeming down)

thanks guys. had a feeling that it needed to be on while the lights were going just needed to clarify. its just weird that the last 3 ambulances i have seen under priority had no noise

[Markmywords]

Where they sja ambulances or alas ? maybe the alas sirens were broken

[Smithy]

hahaha nah they were SJA

[padfoot]

Ambulances are allowed to travel priority 1 without sirens as these do affect some patients eg heart complaints.

I am sure this was clarified earlier by Kyle??? maybe under a different thread???
