two jurisdictions; Baltimore City Fire Department and Baltimore County Fire Department. Members in Baltimore often work side by side with crews from both services. Legal status In the United Kingdom, Hatzalah cannot use blue lights and sirens on their private vehicles. In England, all Hatzalah chapters are CQC registered, and they have a memorandum of understanding with local police forces with regards to use of blue lights and sirens, if certain criteria are met. Like any other emergency service, this does not mitigate if a collision occurs, and the service and its members can be prosecuted if deemed to be in the public interest. In New York, Hatzalah usually use red and blue lights and sirens, like normal unmarked emergency vehicles. In New Jersey, Hatzalah usually use blue lights. In Florida on June 14, 2021 Governor Ron DeSantis made history by signing a new law that allowed faith-based volunteer ambulance services to operate in Florida. This law also allowed for the use of emergency lights and sirens in Hatzalah response vehicles. In Toronto, Hatzalah use green lights, having the same legal status as volunteer firefighters who also use green lights in their vehicles. In Australia, Hatzalah are trained as Community First Responders and while they are tasked by the professional services to respond to emergencies, they cannot use flashing lights and/or sirens and must obey all traffic rules. Community involvement Hatzalah organizations are often involved in other community activities, on top of their primary mission of emergency medical work. Many neighborhood chapters sponsor and participate in community events, both within the local Jewish community and in the broader community. Flatbush Hatzalah frequently plays softball against teams from local police precincts, firehouses, and hospitals. Many Hatzalahs worldwide run public relations campaigns related to safe drinking on Purim, fire safety on Chanukah, and during Passover preparations. Chevra Hatzolah in New York works closely with the FDNY on this matter. Specialization of Hatzalah EMS A number of items that are either unique to Hatzalah, or that are relatively unusual for an EMS, include: Direct response Most EMS rely on crews with scheduled shifts operating from a known location. Due to its members and the communities they serve usually living in proximity, Hatzolah relies little on scheduled crews and stations, and, rather, has all service members on call 24/7 and members responding from wherever they are.
