I've been in EMS for 38 years. I've been certified in MA for 36.

Technology has been available for DECADES to track every single ambulance operating on the road.

We don't need shitty groups to gather and discuss multiple levels of BS which will certainly boil down to $$$.

BTW: this same exact state wide GPS tracking of every ambulance within a state boundaries should be implemented nationally.

Totally mish mash. Complete mix of all the above.

But, that does not relinquish the ability for a state agency to have a live ambulance tracking map.

There are plenty of times that private ambulance companies have units floating through any given area. If the state tracks and coordinates with ALL the 911 systems, IMO, it's technically possible to have a unit respond from just a few minutes away vs. the assigned 911 ambulance.

This tracking and immediate response from ANY of the closest ambulance has been possible for many years.
