Believe it was MLFD district and from what I am told by PD that they do not answer any 911 calls during the hours of 0600-1800 hrs

That's both true and not true...MLFD Ambulance Unit is secondary in the MLFD district...for instance, if someone in the town of Manhasset calls 911 for an ambulance at any time of the day, EAB goes. In general, if a county bus is not available in the 6th or it has an extended ETA, the call is given to MLFD. As for what you said above, during certain daytime hours (I'll take you word for it being 0600-1800, I don't remember for myself what they are), MLFD is "unavailable" to respond to those calls, meaning a bus will come from a neighboring precinct if needed.

This applies to "standard" ambulance calls. For any call for an MVA, a working fire, elevator rescue, other type of rescue, or anything else like that that would need a fire company and an ambulance, 830 dispatches the Ambulance Unit in addition to the fire company(ies). Also, anything called into 830 via the MLFD emergency line gets an MLFD ambulance, no matter what the time of day.

Anyway though, back to the subject at hand, since anything called into 911 will initially get EAB anyway, none of this is relevant to the cardiac arrest being discussed, besides saying that there was in fact a code and that 14a took it.

**MLFD members: I'm pretty sure that that's all correct, but if anythings changed since it was last explained to me let me know and I'll modify.
