This code is very old, so we are trying to change it. The rest of emergency vehicles must use yellow (amber) ligthts (like tractors :wacko. However, in Spain, traffic code prescribes that only police cars can use blue lights. In most countries of Europe, the lights are blue for all emergency vehicles (police, firefighters, ambulances.) and yellow/amber for slow vehicles (large trucks, crane trucks, tractors.). Non-assistant/non-emergency ambulance/patients transports (private company): Volunteers (voluntarios): Red Cross, DYA, Civil Defense… Courses from 40 to 300 hours (first aids, patient transport assistant, life guard,…) If they want to work for the public health service they need to be a Specialist (4-5 years more: Intensive Care Medicine, Family Medicine, Anesthesiology, Cardiology…) Doctor (médico or doctor): University degree (6 years). In some regions nurses need a Master in Emergency Nursing (or experience in ER, ICU,…) for EMS jobs. Nurse (Enfermero): University degree (3 years until 2009, now 4 years). Since 2007 there is a 2 years training occupational course (vocational-Community College). Before 2007 there was not a national standard, so each region had their own rules (courses from 60 to 600 hours, sometimes only a first aid course). Staff: 1 driver-EMT-B, 1 doctor (and/or 1 nurse) Staff: 1 or 2 pilots (or 1 pilot and 1 mechanic), 1 flight nurse and 1 doctor *Staff: 1 or 2 EMT-B (one of them a driver), 1 ambulance nurse and 1 doctor. ALS ambulance (ambulancia de SVA or UVI móvil). This type of ambulance is newly created (end of 90s) and not all region do. They can use ALS skills based on protocols (like US paramedics) or phone/radio orders) like drugs or intubation. *Skills: addition to above, nurses can apply invasive techniques (IV, NG tube, vesical catheterization, laryngeal mask…). *Staff: 1 or 2 EMT-B (one of them a driver) and 1 ambulance nurse. ILS ambulance (ambulancia de SVI or SVE or Sanitarizada). *Skills: BLS+AED (non-invasive techniques: splints, cervical collars, spinal board, Kendrick extrication device, first aids, oxygen,…) Usually, this kind of ambulance doesn't attend emergencies.

*Staff: A driver and sometimes an assistant (first aid course or similar). Non assistant ambulance (ambulancia no asistencial) For dialysis, rehabilitation, non emergency patients transport. So in some regions, the 112 dispatchers send the ambulance (or the firefighter engine, or the police car…), but in others the 112 dispatcher call the 061 dispatcher (or the 080 dispatcher, or the 092 dispatcher,…), and then this sends the ambulance (firefighter engine, police car,…). The emergency dial is 112 in all regions, but in many regions, each agency have their own dial too (national police: 091, local police: 092, firefighters: 080, EMS: 061…). Others outsource (subcontract) the vehicles and some staff to private companies (usually the vehicles and the BLS staff are contracted out and the ALS staff are civil servants –public EMS employees). Each region manages the service differently. Regional EMSs are public services (they depends on Regional Health Services).
In addition, there are non profit organizations like Red Cross or DYA who provide BLS ambulances (rarely ALS ambulances) with volunteers for special situations (music or sport events, support to public EMS,…).
Furthermore, some cities has a local EMS (it depends of the city council), and some Fire Department has ambulance service too.
So there are 17 regional public EMS (they depend of the Regional Government). Each region has their own Public Health Service (with hospitals, health centers and regional EMS). There are 17 autonomous communities (autonomous regions) in Spain (like states in USA). According to the World Bank, Spain’s economy is the ninth largest worldwide and the fifth largest in Europe. In 2008 the population of Spain officially reached 46 million people. Spain is a member of the European Union located in southwestern Europe.
