BERT Responds to Complaints about Ambulances Down
Today, News Five received several reports of BERT being unable to carry out ambulatory services because the emergency vans at the facility were all down. We were able to confirm with Executive Director Andre Carillo that one of its ambulances was experiencing mechanical problems while another was out dealing with an unresponsive patient. Two of the cases included a private transfer for a patient that wanted to go home while another was for a transfer between two medical facilities. A third was for a call from the youth hostel, but it was not a rescue and emergency incident.
