Posted January 13, 2015 Besides the proposal to close two stations, they also won't de-link from the existing regional ambulance service (known as Area 17). The proposal was from Bob Bonde who was proposing the cost savings aspects of such actions. You can see his actual proposal in this .pdf document, I found it after digging around: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwNUuyQVVz1mdDVyQVdQOW83R1U/edit I do believe agencies and their employees should continue to work on better methods for serving the public while optimizing the costs associated with what is a growing response frequency by firefighters to medical emergencies, non-emergencies, and psych calls. In many stations, the use of an expensive truck/ladder for all the medical aid runs, is not an efficient nor effective way of delivering that response. -Rescue51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
