Interesting to note that McCormick Ambulance Service was started by McCormick Mortuary--sort of a conflict of interest back in the day. The ambulance service now operates as a separate company from the funeral home.
Yes, AMR does provide 911 transport for LA County FD in some parts of the county. Besides AMR and McCormick, there's Gerber, Care, Schaefer and Americare Ambulance, each with their own coverage areas. Otherwise most of the local FDs provide their own BLS ambulances.
There are 2 EMT's in the ambulance. On a transport, one drives, and the other rides in the back. If its an ALS transport, a paramedic from LA County Fire Department rides in the back also. The second paramedic follows the ambulance in the paramedic squad. There are usually two paramedics in the squad who respond to calls. A fire engine or truck from a local fire station typically responds in addition and likely gets to the scene first.
There may also be an additional paramedic on the engine. In some cases, two or three of the firefighters on the truck or engine may be trained as a paramedic, but only one officially provides care. Typically, the local station responds first, followed by the rescue squad, which covers a much larger area than the station. Just after the squad, or around the same time, the ambulance arrives.
@ProudVolunteer19 well the paramedic from the squad needs a way back to the station right? and they are also back up in case something arises and they need more man power. If im right, im pretty sure the McCormick ambulance is staffed by EMT'S ?
Hello brother... Dios los bendiga yo también soy bombero voluntario en mi país en la ciudad de Caracas Venezuela 🇻🇪 para mi es un orgullo ser bombero considerado que todos los bomberos a nivel mundial somos brother y ángeles salvadores yo tengo 23 años de servicio empecé a los 17 años y es una de las mejores labores que hacemos todos los seres humanos aporta y salvar vidas... Un fuerte abrazo 🤗🤗🤗 👩🚒🔥🚒....
@ProudVolunteer19 Most places that run ALS fly trucks it's usually SOP to run Code 3 to keep up with the transport unit. Additionally many times the medic operating the fly truck is relaying pertinent info to and from the personnel in the ambulance. It is wise to keep the units close especially if another call drops immediately as they arrive at the ER. Can't be waiting on the fly truck to show up.
@Nachtgestalt87 Ich hab zwar kA was ein Squad 14 ist, aber falls es so eine Art Notarzt ist, wird es wohl so sien, wie in Deutschland, nämlich, dass der NA hinten beim Pat. ist (wie der RA eigtl. auch) und der NEF-Fahrer (hier meist BF'ler) hinterherfährt, damit der Doc hinterher auch noch was zum heimfahren hat ;)
I'm liking these ride along videos, but I'd like to see (and this is just a suggention) a little bit of what's going on, on scene of the incident. And as far as the ride along with the ambulance, such as this one, try get in the back with the attendant and the patient. That's where you'll actually get to see something. There's really nothing going on up front. (Again, that's just a suggestion.)
@SmokyBarret Wobei es in den USA eigentlich kein NA-System gibt. Wenn überhaupt, werden die eigentlich nur bei größeren Sachen eingeflogen. Und Squad ist an für sich einfach ne Gruppe der Feuerwehr. Am Ende sieht man das Fahrzeug im Rückspiegel. Wirkt für mich eher wie ein KLEF oder TSF-W.

Props to this ambulance driver, he knows driving fast won't save lives. Rather, driving fast safely.
So in that case we have incomparably larger professional drivers-rescuers. And I'm proud to have such drivers.
@@josefsezbrisko9064 huh?
I love how the dispatcher is just monotone. Sounds so amazing. Nice siren.
At 1:41 I like it how it shows the EQ2B
I did a ride along as an EMT student with McCormick, visited Centinela a few times that day, good stuff
Had these same sirens at Medix Ambulance
ahhh ... the days when McCormick had the 80k siren ...
Yeah man!! Those were the days!

You know you have been a PM in LA County when you remember McCormick and the funeral home they owned

I am an EMT and my training ride-along was with McCormick Ambulance in Inglewood.
There may also be an additional paramedic on the engine. In some cases, two or three of the firefighters on the truck or engine may be trained as a paramedic, but only one officially provides care. Typically, the local station responds first, followed by the rescue squad, which covers a much larger area than the station. Just after the squad, or around the same time, the ambulance arrives.
Do more Los Angeles county stuff! Great work!
Love the night videos
@301whitehall You don't hear one, but LOOK at 1:41.
i like this video everyday all the time please
I noticed the red light cameras did not go off at the photo enforced intersections
@301whitehall actually at 1:41 there is an eQ2b, but they didn't use it....
@ProudVolunteer19 well the paramedic from the squad needs a way back to the station right? and they are also back up in case something arises and they need more man power. If im right, im pretty sure the McCormick ambulance is staffed by EMT'S ?
During a ride-along, we did respond to a call at a nearby VONS in Inglewood.

Awesome video, more please, would be even better if it was during daylight, more traffic. :D
Why didint he use the Priority?
Not legal in California
They don’t have priority it’s hi-lo and they can’t use hi-lo in California

what do they got
Does AMR (American Medical Response) also assist L.A. County Fire Dept? Thank-You
In some areas yes

Does McCormick just provide BLS transport, or do they also get handed over ALS patients from the Fire Department?
@ProudVolunteer19 They might of had a paramedic from the squad in the ambulance to help the single paramedic in the ambulance.
@jford2032 I think most EMS services run one EMT and on Paramedic.
@trynodev was this by the vons?
How do you get to ride with them? Are you a paramedic of something? And how do you get ALL of those videos?
cool!
What Type of ambulance is that
TheSilentChest FTW McCormick Ambulance

With the HIPPA laws that may be problematic. What is filmed out in public is another story.
that would be a MAJOR HIPAA violation
Hay dirk go over to station 43 in Ventura county California 93063 do a ride along there
@theatomicfart1001 In no part of this video whats so ever do I hear an EQ. Wrong information buddy.
haha i like that this is my daily commute!
@chargers2960 Yeah I thought of that...but I'm just confused as to why the squad has to respond code 3 when there is no need for them to do so...
back in my day killer king was the worst.
what if the patient had died just because you want more traffic could u live with that.

How come the Squad also responded code 3?
@KDALove I know right!!!
@jford2032 Yeah..I kinda skipped that part D: haha. My bad
McCormick ?,Kenny McCormick
If I had a nickel for every time I drove down Prairie Ave code 3, I'd have a shitload of nickels !!
county usc or as we called it the fucking zombie castle.
the ambulance is painfully slow
Absolutely lifeless video. It is a ride through wide streets with minimal traffic and it is at night.
@rykember11 Lmfao, I guess I skipped that part.
2020
