Operational Equipment: Stock
and Emergency Vehicles
As you step outside the paramedics'
office, and through the glass doors, you
reach the operational quarters.
This outside area houses the Hatzolah
vehicle fleet – fully-equipped, state-of-
the-art ambulances and response cars,
specifically fitted according to the
needs of the organisation.
The two primary response cars (known
as Romeo 1 and Romeo 2), are
equipped with advanced life support
equipment that includes a portable
ventilator, cardiac monitoring devices
and a blood analysis machine – all
des i gned to prov i de the best
emergency care to the patient in
advance of being admitted tohospital.
In addition to the response cars are the
five ambulances which are also also
packed with sophisticated lifesaving
equipment.
A fully equipped stock room is
maintained on a regular basis to ensure
there is sufficient equipment on
standby to restock the ambulances and
response cars, and for multiple casualty
emergencies.
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude
to Natie and Frances Kirsh for providing
us with this magnificent facility from
which tooperate!
