Stand-by Services
Special Event Ambulance/First Aid Standbys
When Life Line EMS provides ambulance stand-by
services, that means the emergency vehicle and crew do not leave the
scene for the duration of the event, because of potential hazards or
a high risk of injury. Since we are a private company, we can only
dedicate these resources to for-profit companies who are able to pay
our fees. Film companies and camps typically purchase this service.
If your company has a need for a stand-by ambulance, first aid
services and emergency crew, please contact us at 1-800-418-5523 or
928-445-3814, or e-mail us at
info@lifelineaz.com.
As a partner in the communities we serve, Life
Line Ambulance donates ambulance service for nonprofit events. Life
Line posts an ambulance and crew at these events as last-out
standby, which means that if there are calls in the area, the
ambulance and crew can be pulled away. While we make every effort to call these crews in
last, we cannot guarantee full-event coverage when we are donating
our services. Another stipulation for a nonpaid
standby is that the posting cannot adversely affect the response
times in the area.
Some of the organizations we have worked with include
Whiskey Row Marathon, Prescott; Wickenburg Gold Rush Days, Wickenburg;
and Thomas the Tank Engine's Day Out, Williams.
If your nonreligious, nonprofit, nonpolitical organization has a need for these
services, please submit a proposal at least two to four weeks in advance of
your event to Life Line. This proposal should describe the event,
including dates, times and how many people are expected.
Life Line Ambulance is also committed to supporting other emergency
service professionals. That’s why, whenever possible, we provide
emergency crews and ambulance transportation to fire and
police departments when they’re in crises, such as large fires when
local firefighters are at risk or hostage situations involving law
enforcement. Our partnering with our community agencies is another
example of exceptional customer service.
EMS Bike Team
When someone needs emergency services in a
crowded, public event, it is sometimes very difficult, and, thus,
time-consuming, to get a typical ambulance in to help. Life Line EMS
has developed a creative solution to these difficult circumstances:
our EMS Bike Team. The company has specially designed and equipped two
mountain bikes to provide emergency medical services during large, public
events, such as parades, marathons and street festivals.
The benefits of utilizing the Bike Team include:
-
The response times are very short, often before
the call gets to dispatch.
-
Even though a full-sized ambulance is ready and
waiting, our bike team members can maneuver in tighter spaces than
an ambulance can, so they can provide services more quickly.
-
The team members get to interact with the
public in non-emergency, non-threatening situations: We get to
know you; you get to know us.
-
Bike team members can serve as extra eyes and
ears for public safety departments.
If you would like to schedule Life Line’s bike
team for your large, public, nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonreligious
event, please contact Life Line at 928-445-3814 or 1-800-418-5523.
We provide services at no cost to you.
