No it isn't. The emergency services do not do things like fit turbos to otherwise normally aspirated vehicles for ANY purposes, let alone for things like this.
Any Ambulance Staff? (Esp any Community 1st Responders)

Its a community first responder, its voluntary so anyone is allowed to do it, they give you training and you have to goto refreshers days every so often
Surely he has a radio? Considering it would be illegal to use his mobile whilst driving? And what if he had no signal etc?
I think it will be first aid, rather than anything major. (OP, I dont mean this in a deragotory way at all) Just to keep the ip alive til the ambulance arrives.

He has a mobile, hands free is on the car and a lot of other equipment. Next time I see my old man I will ask/take some pictures of the inside/outside of the car
Sorry mate but he is right. Kindly get a pic of this turboed Focus ambulance and I will eat my words, but til then I not going to believe you.
We are not even allowed sat-navs in our vehicles for H+S, I cant imagine the look on the station Inspectors face if we bodged a turbo onto one of the Vectras
It isn't the ambulance, it is the rapid response cars here they use a Ford Focus. Hell I don't know the exact specifics but I do know that the car has a turbo.
Next time I see him (usually when I go to wash my car) I will get some pics.
Exactly. The emergency services use already faster cars (often sponsored iirc) such as Octavia VRSs and Imprezas, why on earth would they go to the trouble of bodging a turbo onto a Focus :\

Possible. I don't know for sure, will confirm when I am.
Never even thought of that. The 'modded with a turbo' implied it did was NA to begin with.
Not really, you just took it that way. I'm not the Paramedic here so I don't drive it. I know it has "some" Turbo because just a few weeks ago he and a colleague swapped cars because the turbo was gone (one was finishing there shift).

Not going to argue with that because I don't know the fine specifics of the Ford Focus in question.
