Probably it’s to big of areas. Not sure why they activated RRVs that don’t have the MDTs. It’s supposed to be the Newer SSLs that have 4 doors and already have the EMS equipment on them plus the MCI bag. Only thing they needed was a AED. They activated 11 which there are q
14 newer SSLs only one that’s out of service is 50 I believe and maybe 117.

Lack of staffing. Probably too long of shifts to be dealing with what they are dealing with…. Back to back runs
