Do all ambulances go to calls with their lights and sirens on?
No. When a call comes in, it is carefully triaged by a certified Emergency Medical Dispatcher who utilized a computer based program to determine the most appropriate response for each call. The Majority of calls are not immediately life threatening and therefore they do not require a lights and sirens response.
