Answer 4

This is up to the Ambulance Company' policies for riders. Some companies allow it to be the EMT's decision. My company allows for it to be my decision. I will allow one rider if the patient is a minor, if the patient if critical, or if it is an elderly couple and the spouse has no one at the house to help them. Only if the patient is a minor will I allow a family member to ride in the back of the box, otherwise all riders will be in the cab.

only one. they need space to work and little confusion.
