(dia: ja) 10109 Rit 107814 Dijkgraaf Grootweg

What happened?

On 30 July 2024 at 04:32, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Andijk, on Dijkgraaf Grootweg. The ambulance dispatch centre coordinates the response and sends a crew with priority lights and sirens to provide first aid on-site and — if needed — transport the patient to the nearest suitable hospital.

The ambulance was dispatched as a Direct Deployment (DIA): the dispatcher was still gathering details from the caller, but the ambulance had already been sent on the basis of the first signals. This avoids losing time in situations that look immediately life-threatening.
