(Inzet AED) (dia: ja) 12164 Rit 175913 Nienke van Hichtumstraat

What happened?

On 25 December 2023 at 19:55, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Hoofddorp, on Nienke Van Hichtumstraat. 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.
