(A) When the Agency has determined that adequate emergency ambulance service will not be available from existing ambulance providers, this chapter may be waived at the request of the county’s designated communications center, any law enforcement agency, or fire protection agency during any “state of war emergency”, “state of emergency”, or “local emergency” as defined in Cal. Gov’t Code § 8558. Exemptions may be made for a period not over 30 days, but renewable every 30 days.
(B) This chapter shall not prevent any peace officer from arranging for the transportation of an individual in need of emergency medical care when no ambulance with an appropriate ambulance service permit is available and such transportation is required immediately for the preservation of life or to avoid substantial impairment of the person to be transported. (13 CCR § 1107[a][2]).
