Except that the risk during traffic is at least as high as driving a truck/ambulance (even code three); you need two to respond on any call for operational safety (watch your six) and logistics (moving lard ass Larry) and that is yet one more thing to train on every year, as well as license (done at the public cost). AN interesting idea but it won’t be popular in many areas. Beach, you betcha, wildland area, not so bright (the vehicle is a last resort shelter).

| I rather like the idea of deploying BLS on motorcycles! They are much more maneuverable in traffic than normal Rescue rigs. In addition, they would probably be more flexible in dealing with natural and unplanned disaster scenarios (yeah, this one was being scripted for quite a while). Unfortunately, with budgets being extremely tight, this type of innovation may go away as a two-off as they redeploy when the other half of the span is removed at a later date. |
