Posted April 16, 2019 Does anyone know if there is a move to Single role Paramedic units that are not firefighters in Az ? Yuma's medic units are single role but still firefighters, just do not have gear.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 16, 2019 Lots of departments here in Arizona have switched to non firefighter medic ambulances. Buckeye Valley, Sun City, Surprise, Tempe are a few. Some agencies are also using private ambulances out of their stations. If it's dispatch id is "medic", then it's a non firefighter medic ambulance. A "rescue" ambulance is staffed with firefighters.

I don't know if they have actual vehicles assigned to these IDs but the IDs are used during special events. Usually placeholders for large events like Coyotes & Cardinals Games.
