VENTURA COUNTY — In response to the County of Ventura’s Red Flag Warning and the current fires, American Medical Response Ventura County (AMR Ventura County) and its affiliate Gold Coast Ambulance (GCA) have upstaffed an additional five ambulances in the 9-1-1 system today. The additional staffing will assist with the extra call volume expected as a result of the poor air quality, while allowing the Ventura County Fire Department first responders to focus on fire response. Several AMR Ventura County and GCA crews have been assigned to the fire and are also assisting with evacuations, and AMR Ventura County and GCA are prepared to add additional staffing as needed to support the Ventura County community.
