There are many different types of ambulance companies, and every city, county, and state has multiple companies. A few of the larger companies are Care Ambulance, LifeStar, and Falck A/S.

The word for ambulance in Welsh is "ambiwlans." It is derived from the same roots as the English term, reflecting the shared medical terminology across languages. In Welsh, it is pronounced similarly, making it recognizable to speakers of both languages.

Firstly, if you are referring to care providers, there is no "ambulance technition." Also, there is no "ambulance driver," so don't mention that :-) The correct terms are EMT, Paramedic (which is an advanced EMT), or prehospital provider. Salaries vary depending on location. West coast employers pay more for prehospital providers than east coast, because there are fewer experienced responders. The average salary on the west coast (my location) is around $26,000-30,000 per year. I have seen some employers pay $36,000 for more experienced EMT-Basics. There are salary surveys done annually by the magazines EMS Responder and JEMS; you may want to consider researching there for the most updated information. When you start getting to higher levels, such as paramedic, you can expect beginning salaries around $46,000 on the west coast. So it's not doctor's or nurse's wages, but it is enough to survive and save lives on. Secondly, if you meant the proper definition of "ambulance technician" which would be a mechanic, you're in the wrong cataegory :)

A gurney or a stretcher, also called a cot by some departments. It's used to lift and carry patients and also to keep them stable during transportation. It secures into the floor of the ambulance. If there is any suspected neck or back injury the patient is first stabilized on a back board with a neck brace being secured to board.

yes it is a civil war sing and the origonal flag said dont tread on me

This is because the word AMBULANCE can be read through a rearview mirror of the vehicle in front of it.

It depends on where you are in the world. In the US, most ambulances sirens have 2 or 3 settings....a long, slowly ascending and descending Whooo sound, a short rapidly ascending and descending warble tone, and sometimes a 3rd, higher, louder, phazer sound (my favorite to get attention of complacent drivers). Rarely, US rigs will have a European, up/down, British, DA/da/DA/da/DA tone. We have 1 rig at our department with the rare European setting. I love to use that setting through intersections here in the US just to mess with people, because most Americans have never heard that tone, except in movies. Ambulances in the US also have either a genuine air powered horn (awesome), and/or an electronic simulated air horn sound (lame). If you pay attention, before long you will able to tell the difference between police, ambulance, fire engines, and personally owned emergency response sirens just by the subtle sounds of each siren. The loudest, best siren is the air powered siren on the Fire Engines. They are controlled by a foot button located on the floor of both the driver and passenger/officer seat of the engine, an air pump, and a big, loud, steel speaker horn. They are easily the loudest siren available. Some police cars in the US have a "Rumbler Siren" that bottoms out at a subsonic level to send shock waves into the ground and surrounding areas, so that even if you have a crazy loud stereo cranked up in your car, you will feel the police siren in your bones....pretty cool. Ambulance sirens are usually between 100 and 200 watts of powered sound, and about half of the drivers on the road are completely oblivious to both lights and sirens until you are really close. When you see emergency lights behind you with a siren in America, pull to the RIGHT and stop. They will always pass you on the left in the US. If it a cop, you will notice blue lights. It is very rare for any other emergency vehicles to employ blue lights in their ensemble...and usually illegal. If an unmarked police car attempts to pull you over, call 911 and verify the identity of the unmarked car before pulling over, or drive to the local PD if it is close. Although illegal, it is not hard hard to obtain emergency lights in the US, and is a tool used by criminals to pull over victims. Rare, but it happens.

People are typically placed on a stretcher or a gurney to be carried to an ambulance. These devices are designed to securely support and transport individuals, especially in emergencies, while ensuring their safety and comfort. Stretcher designs often include features like adjustable height, wheels for easy movement, and straps to secure the patient.

It basically means a lawyer who makes a business out of finding accident victims to represent in court. At least i THINK that's what it means.

Pretty much, yes, but they go further. They encourage the casualty to make an inflated and quite possibly unjust claim for damages, of which a sizeable chunk will go straight into the lawyer's own bank account.

The budget of British Columbia Ambulance Service is 268,000,000 dollars.

Normal medical care usually doesn't cover the cost for ambulance. It is important to check with any local or national private insurance company if they cover ambulance fees or not, as some people who opt for private insurance assume the ambulance is also covered, but later discover the opposite.

Air ambulance service is very safe. Whereas ground ambulances have to contend with traffic jams and poor drivers, air ambulances are in very little danger--if any--of getting into an accident.
