Which channel would you use for EMS West communications?

• A. A2
• B. A5
• C. A3
• D. A4

Answer: (C)

Use the channel designated for EMS West. This keeps your transmission on the same frequency as EMS West units, ensuring your messages are heard by the appropriate responders and preventing cross-talk with other regions or services. The SOG assigns specific channels to geographic areas so communications stay organized and efficient during calls. If you stay on a different channel, EMS West units may not hear you, which can delay patient care and coordination. Always verify the current channel assignment in the SOG and switch to the EMS West channel when coordinating West-area EMS operations, using concise, standard radio procedure.
