General Operating Information:

The MVAC EMT's, (EMT-B's, EMT-CC's and EMT-P's) provide 24-hour, 7 days a week, Advanced Life Support service. The emergency technicians are always on duty, responding from their homes or headquarters.

The Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc. does not discuss methods or means in any detail, after receiving a message from Nassau County Fire Communications (FireCom) on a pocket-sized radio pager or a portable two-way radio, a driver responds to headquarters to get the ambulance. At the same time, all other available technicians, who also carry pagers, respond directly to the scene in their own cars.

The EMT's arriving at the scene before the ambulance will enter the scene with their own medical bags, which are carried in their members' personal cars and are equipped to stabilize life-threatening emergencies until the ambulance arrives.
