I'm in SE not Wallaroo, Yes you're right a 40 car can also be used for what you said. But a 40 crew can be used as a full crew for a cert 4 and another ambo officer. The 40 crew is usually paired for cert 2 students to do some work. They aren't an operational crew, what I mean is that they don't go seeking for jobs they respond if necessary.

Hi
I can only talk from experiences down here at the South East, but a 40 call sign is usually used for a Cert II or IV which can be classed as a crew. Also the RTL might have been doing some driver training with a Cert II vollie. Most likely that the RTL was in Wallaroo providing some training and worked a shift for them today, hence the reason you have WL1. Again, only talking from experiences down here.

Hi there
Here in the South East we have two main managers that control the patch where I work; they being OS3 (Mt Gambier) and OS11 (Millicent). The only reason SPRINT are operational is because Adelaide is a city of 1 million, therefore bigger population to care for and also so that they can access patients from one suburb to another. Firstly the thing about a country town is that nothing is too far away, meaning an emergency ambulance is sufficient for the area to be covered. Secondly SPRINT are not based at a station meaning you could have a paramedic based at maccas for the day, (leading to my third reason) that country towns don't get enough calls to support a SPRINT team.
