Their crews work closely with the ambulance service, first responders, Police, Fire & Rescue and other emergency services such as HM Coastguard. They receive no direct government funding to support their service. They cover 3,500 miles across Lincs & Notts, responding to 1,620 incidents in 2022 at a cost of £10 million to keep the service operational.
