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.

So the RRV's were to be going on cold exposure runs because EMS is in backlog? I don't imagine they can transport in the RRV and I'm assuming the members aren't putting homeless in the RRV to keep warm awaiting EMS. So what is their role? Hold the cold person's hand while they colder awaiting EMS?
 
Or just put more ambulances on the street. I believe the new commissioner knows, and is working on this. She knows the issues. The RRV’s are a waste.
