A112 & PA111 is located in CFS
A111 & A113 located at BKFP
so means A114 won't be at BKFP anymore..
if dats the case then luckily I got a shot of A114.. -
looks like odd numbers at BKFP
even at CFS
SCDF ambulances only.
-
need to go dig up my hdd for the A114 shot @ bkfp..
-
are the crews for the ambulances organic or attached?
if they are attached, it means that 114 for example will get called out less? and the crew will have less stuff to do?
or they rotate the crews and ambulances?
-
If call for 995 when emergency, is it free? or we have to pay money for the journey?

I've got the feeling that A114 which I saw dat time at BKFP is just a temp move..
usually the paramedics will decide which alpha they want to be attached to so its a fixed kinda thing..the pic of A114 is now my wallpaper for my notebook..

if the case is a genuine emergency then its free..
otherwise a charge will be imposed.. -
post it!
wow i see, so it means 114 will usually see less action because 111,2 and 3 will be dispatch first? or they just randomly dispatch if all 4 are available? assuming they are all at one station.

yes, dat is an example of a genuine emergency therefore no charges will be imposed..
such cases will be en-routed to KKH.. -

I think A114 is a spare alpha for now which means there's no such alpha..
with regards to alphas being dispatched, it all depends on the OCC..but I can safely say one thing, with the help of the pte ambulances, 995 calls are lesser for the scdf fleet of ambulances..

which means there are still 4 alphas on call and not increased to 5.
I wonder how it is across other stations.
If there is no increase of ambulances, just the decrease of on call SCDF personnel supplemented by the PAO, then i think it is not what the news reports originally suggested?
If i remember correctly, there was supposed to be an increase of ambulances on call.
-
maybe some stns will have more calls as compared to others..
with regards to the stn dat I previously was from, I asked & they told me calls were much lesser than before the PAOs came in..for stn 11, high chance that the callsigns are - A111, A112, A113 & PA111..
as for A114, it might be used as a spare alpha for some ops-steadfast.. -

sure, no probs..
will try to ans ur queries to the best of my ability.. -
agree.. maybe now with the PAOs in the picture, they might even just switch to using PAs for ops.
It has to be cheaper for SCDF to sub out instead of operating themselves.
-
it all boils down to cost..
and 995 calls are increasing as its a greying population.. -

Prior to PAO deploymentStn 11 has A111 to 115.

okay so it means there is still 5 ambulances and no increase.

Actually was quite shocked at seeing 115 one Saturday afternoon below my block (Tanglin Halt) since all the while thought Central has only A111 to 114. Later someone told me 115 is deployed to Cairnhill.I'd love to see a breakdown of which alpha assigned to which FS/FP then easier for spotting. Quite boring seeing those from Stn 22, 23 and 33
-
Not right, if CFS only has 111 to 114 now
then which alpha is at cairnhill?or is there no alpha based there now?
LOL, we cant be everywhere to spot... unless you have people who live in the west or north or commute there regularly, then we can see.
