As a volunteer FF/EMT, we use what we call a "stair chair" to transport
patients down flights of steps in houses or elsewhere.  (It is useful
particularly in locations where a full cot doesn't fit, and it is much
easier to handle on a full flight of stairs than a cot.)  I would imagine
that most ambulances would have such items.

Doing a quick web search, I found:

http://www.galls.com/shop/viewproduct.jsp?catcode=205

which shows (as the first item) a  folding stair chair much like the one we
use.  This is just FYI; I'm not endorsing this product necesarily, but it
looks like the one that works for us.

A bit pricey, of course, but such is the world of EMS.
