That is not as expensive as LA City FD. Their ambulance ride is $600. 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile 8 miles. It makes no difference.
LA County FD, on the other hand, handles remote areas, mountains, lakes, rivers, etc, charges $1200 per person for the ambulance and $5,000 for a medivac helicopter ride. The Medivac is only for extreme situations ie: burn victims, amputations, MCIs( Multiple Casualty Incidences), severe head trauma or incidence that require immediate medical attention that are more than 10 miles from any local hospital.
