With the decline in active members this has been changed. When a response is made, one will drive the ambulance and two will care for the patient. Usually only two people go on_ transports when a patient is sent north for specialized care, because the doctors will not let them take someone who is not stable. Other EMTs then take over call when the ambulance leaves the valley. Transporting a patient to specialty hospitals is the most common use of the Milford EMT's. Other calls are for accident, heart attack, or other medical emergencies such as a broken hip. Every run is distinctly different because of the circumstances.
