Emergency medical services in Hong Kong are provided by the Hong Kong Fire Service, in co-operation with two other voluntary organizations. ==Organization== The Hong Kong Fire Service is the statutory provider of emergency ambulance service in Hong Kong, as mandated by regulations from the Legislative Council. The service has a considerable history, but only amalgamated into a single unified service in 1979, when previous government ambulance operations were merged with those of the fire service. The service employs some 2200 people and operates approximately 256 emergency ambulances and 35 motorcycles from 36 depots, located strategically around the Hong Kong territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong: The Facts (HKFS website) 1 )〕 In 2006, the service responded to more than 575,000 emergency calls, and transported approximately 514,000 people to hospital.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong: The Facts (HKFS website) 2 )〕 In addition, the service operates a number of rapid response vehicles, and four heavy truck-based Mobile Treatment Centres. The service provides emergency transport to the 14 publicly operated Hong Kong Hospital Authority facilities which operate Accident and Emergency departments. The service follows the Anglo-American model (as opposed to the Franco-German model) of EMS service provision. It is rare to see a physician at the scene of an emergency. The statutory service is supplemented by two organisations – St. John Ambulance, a charity organisation and the Auxiliary Medical Service, a government-run voluntary service. Both of these services focus primarily on providing coverage to special events, and on public education, although both have written agreements with the statutory service to provide additional ambulances during a disaster.
