Standby Request Form

For events requesting standby services, the ambulance or staff member assigned is dedicated to the event. If an emergency transport is needed, a separate ambulance will be dispatched to transport the patient to the hospital. If an ambulance is not available to transport the patient to the hospital, the ambulance on standby may have to transport. In that event every effort will be made to dispatch an aid unit to the standby. The time the ambulance is away from the standby will be discounted from the fee. If an aid vehicle replaces the ambulance the fee will be adjusted. The patient is responsible for the ambulance transport fee which is separate from the standby charge.
