Vegas, AMR pursuing ambulance transport deal

It appears AMR is going to take a shot at busting up R/M's interfacility transport monopoly in Maricopa County. They have two DHS CON hearings scheduled in July. Good luck to them. It's a long hard road. http://www.azdhs.gov/bems/documents/ambulance/ground/GroundAmbulanceHearingSchedule.pdf

Also saw new R272 and R273 at Tempe St. Luke's. The fire department branding seems to be trendy in the Valley nowadays. https://flic.kr/p/nxywkD https://flic.kr/p/nRPZvD

I thought SWA stopped fire dept. branding their rigs in Glendale. Other than that optic yellow 2-ton monster medic assigned to one of the fire stations, the rest of the Glendale rigs have a red and white paint scheme. https://flic.kr/p/7J22Kd

Down the street and around the corner. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ruralmetro-corp-selects-pima-office-pavilion-in-scottsdale-for-new-national-headquarters-244207891.html

Sounds like R/M is still having a tough time of it and needs to cut some more expenses. If I'm not mistaken, that Tucson facility was custom built for SWA. I'll bet they're paying a pretty hefty premium for that lease. Probably a similar situation with the custom built facility SWA had in Mesa.

Rural/Metro Corp. is poised to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy within the next few weeks. http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/blog/health-care-daily/2013/12/ruralmetro-set-to-emerge-from.html

Are the new Tempe units in service yet?

One might think NWFD would be embolden by Yuma FD's success in obtaining their own CON. After all, NWFD serves a larger population than Yuma FD does.
