NREMT Paramedic

Answer: C - It is not necessary to have the cross streets for an ambulance to be dispatched. Though cross street information is helpful it is not absolutely necessary. It is vital that the dispatcher have the location, nature of call, and a callback number to dispatch an ambulance and any other resources. However, it is important to note that it is the responsibility of the EMT to be familiar with their response territory and the use of a map book and any mapping devices they are provided or their agency approves.
