Introduction
The EMTs and MICTs of the City & County of Honolulu Emergency
Services Division-EMS, respond to all 911 calls for emergency
assistance on the island of Oahu. In 2004, City & County Honolulu
Emergency Medical Dispatch received more than 81,000 calls for
assistance. Of this number, this led to 66,424 responses, from
which 40,932 patients were transported to hospitals.
Administration
The division is headed by a Chief of EMS with two assistant
chiefs: one for operations and another for quality assurance.
Districts
The island of Oahu is divided into two districts, each with
a EMS Field Operations supervisor. Operation of individual ambulance
units are directed to a unit supervisor. District 1 encompasses
West Oahu, while District 2 encompasses East Oahu.
EMS Fleet
Twenty ambulances are classified as Advanced Life Support
units, which provide care to patients in a pre-hospital setting.
These ambulances are staffed by a Mobile Intensive Care Technician
(MICT), who are trained and authorized to perform invasive techniques
under off-line medical control and standing orders. A second MICT
or EMT constitutes the second member. On some calls, members of
the Honolulu Fire Department may assist EMTs or MICTs inside the
ambulance.
The Waipio EMS unit came online 6 January 2008. The Ewa Beach
EMS unit came online on 12 July 2012.
Two rapid response units provide additional coverage for Leeward
and Windward Oahu. They are also designated as ALS units, and
are staffed by at least one MICT.
MEDEVAC was coordinated by the 68th Medical Company of the U.S.
Army (Wheeler AAF). Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic
(MAST) provides six Blackhawk UH-60 helicopters to evacuate patients
in critical condition from Oahu's rural areas to area hospitals
in Honolulu. This service is no longer operated on the island
of Oahu.
Radio Communications
Since late 2012, Honolulu EMS has switched over to the City
& County of Honolulu 800 MHz radio system.
All talkgroups use ProVoice digital format. There is 1 dispatch
talkgroup, 1 primary MEDICOM talkgroup, and secondary MED talkgroups
(called MED B through MED F). There are two TAC talkgroups, and
a COMMON talkgroup. See the Honolulu Trunking Page for more detail
on frequencies and talkgroup designations.

Hospital Paging Codes (no longer used as of late 2012)
These four-digit DTMF tones serve as paging tones to signal
the hospital of an incoming radio call. Some hospital codes were
difficult to get a hold of since they're rarely used. These DTMF
codes were decoded using WinTone 2.02.
