(DIA: ja) AMBU 17161 Jan van Almondestraat 3176VA bon 22298

What happened?

On 11 February 2024 at 13:28, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Poortugaal, on Jan Van Almondestraat. 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.
