(DIA: ja) AMBU 17158 Staakweg 3247BV bon 25798

What happened?

On 17 February 2024 at 21:34, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Dirksland, on Staakweg. 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.
