North Ambulance (NMAS) tells Crosslake commission it will change deployment to keep trucks in primary service areas
Summary
NMAS representative Ryan Quirin told the Crosslake Public Safety Commission that a new deployment plan will reduce unnecessary ambulance movement and keep trucks in primary service areas; NMAS expects a mid‑March go‑live and will run staff tabletop exercises and training next week.
Ryan Quirin of North Ambulance Service (NMAS) briefed the Crosslake Public Safety Commission on a new deployment plan aimed at reducing unnecessary movement of ambulances and keeping vehicles in their primary service areas. Quirin said NMAS anticipates going live with the plan in mid‑March and will conduct training and tabletop exercises with staff the following week.
Why it matters: the change is intended to improve local coverage reliability by reducing relocations that can leave primary areas uncovered. Quirin told the commission the plan’s objective is to stop unnecessary movement of trucks around the area and keep them in primary cities/service areas.
No operational performance data or specific metrics were provided in the briefing; Quirin said training and internal exercises are scheduled before the change goes into effect.
The commission received the update and did not record further action or a formal vote on NMAS operations at this meeting.
