Ambulance companies are all private. When there’s a traffic accident, they literally race to see which company gets their 55,000 pound F650 lifted 800 HP diesel behemoth to the site faster. Then they take as long as possible to load up to increase their billables.
That is very incorrect. Each town has a contracts with a company if it isn’t done by the town itself. Mutual aid is done by town agreements. Everyone has their own sandbox and won’t go unless asked. Tow trucks on the other hand are the Wild West. I’ve heard stories of tow driver pulling guns on each other.
