Local emergency services[1] operate '2 days, 2 nights, 4 off'. Dayshifts are 10 hour 8am-6pm. Nightshift is 6pm until 8am. This creates a 4-watch rotation.
I dunno from Ambulance -- they're load driven... by my understanding is that around here, the fire people are 3 days on, and 4 days off, or something similar to that. Since they sleep in, they're effectively on-call at all times, and they've got enough people on a shift that they can do internal rotations as to who goes, unless it's a big enough call that they all need to roll, which is a small enough percentage of calls to make it work.
