Der Notarzt hat der Leitstelle gefunkt, weil, er musste ja immer sagen, wenn er wieder frei ist, dass die gewusst haben, sie haben einen Notarzt zur Verfügung. Da meldet er sich 7206, wir sind wieder klar. So war damals die Aussage. Wir haben einen Patienten übernommen, aber er ist wieder klar. 44 hat Exitus an Bord. 44 ist unser Fahrzeug gewesen. 7244.

available for both, "frei" and "klar" or do the use something like "clear"?

We were in the clear again


Explanation:
The emergency doctor radioed the control centre because he always had to say when he was free again that they knew they had an emergency doctor available. Then he called 7206 and we were in the clear again. That was the statement at the time. We took on a patient, but he became lucid again. 44 has exitus on board. 44 was our vehicle. 7244.

Don't understand the relevance or meaning of the last sentence!!!

neutral  Darin Fitzpatrick: For me, this implies “out of danger” rather than “available.”

  -> Not necessarily; it also means "we can see the way ahead again" after doubt or uncertainty; and as it's an interview conducted in an ambulance, " out of danger" probably isn't that far off the mark anyway;

clear


Explanation:
The text reads like an interview or story. I would simply use the literal translation, as the narrator is explaining the term. It doesn’t need to be the correct jargon in English.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It is an interview with the lady from the ambulance, so she would use the correct term. In German, this is "klar", apparently.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Andrew Bramhall: The literal translation would represent an over-simplification and lead to ambiguity in my opinion;

we're done


Explanation:
'klar' is colloquial German, meaning s.th. is done
alles klar = all done / ready

this is just another one of the many options available to you

be available; be available again


Explanation:
The penumbra is obvious in both German and English. It is unnecessary to specify that the physician is unencumbered and is not subject to other demands upon his/her time. This is implied.
Alternative: be available again for calls to service.
Alternative 2: be available again for calls.
