I am under process of starting a project on a free ambulance service with paramedical staff.
I want to know what staff do I require.
It's a non-profit making project service to who cannot effort . Your suggestions welcome.

Hi there

I am not 100% sure how it works in the United States, However, to work as a volunteer on an ambulance you are going to need to become an EMT/B (Emergency Medical Technician/ Basic)

We have Private training schools in South Africa that Training Basic Amulance Technicians. You are going to need to contact the Department of Transport and ask them directly... Or contact the ambulance division in your area and sak them.

You need to have an ambulance license issued by your state and have certified emts to operate at a basic level, and paramedics to operate at an advanced level. You also will need a lot of money to get started, to buy equipment and supplies ambulances, insurance which is very costly, vehicle maintenance just to name a few. It is hard to keep operating a service which charges not to mention the expense of a free ambulance service. Most of the services make most of their revenue from making transfers, from nursing homes and back home from the hospitals etc.. To get started contact the agency in your state that regulates ems, each state is different some have a board of ems others are regulated by some other state agency, contact someone from a local ambulance service and they can tell you who to contact.

Good Luck :)
