We often can't get the owners of the fiber to 'fess up to the actual

What makes you think the Ambulance Service will have the competency
to have any *clue* where their dial tone actually comes from and goes to?
You need a Regulator[tm] which insists that the Ambulance Service demonstrates that they understand these issues, or revoke their licence. A bit like you do for the wetware behind the steering wheel (or the life support system in the back).
