Okay for Private Special Event EMT Standby to have golf cart with lights/sirens?
Posted on May 18th, 2012 by admin
Is it "legal" since on private or regulated property, for Private EMS companies that do standby service at special events to have golf carts that have medical equipment to also have red lights and/or siren for use at the events? (not on the roads obviously) to move the crowds?

Yes. That’s actually classified as a type IV ambulance. It’s used to pick up people at a densely populated event and transport them to a waiting ambulance.
For example, I work EMS in Kansas. We have a type iv ambulance we use at the Kansas State Fairgrounds when we have to respond to an area of the grounds where we cannot maneuver a full-sized ambulance into.
