Pendleton County plans to buy two used ambulances; commissioners request monthly 911 call logs
Summary
County emergency services officials said on July 7 they will purchase two used ambulances to cover operations for the next 24 months while awaiting funds for a new unit. Commissioners requested monthly 911 call logs without identifying information and learned the county recently ran a communications exercise with the U.S. Forest Service.
Diana Mitchell, the county 911 director, reported there was nothing new to report but Commission Carl Hevener asked that 911 call logs be delivered monthly without identifying information so the commission can monitor activity.
Rick Gillespie, the county’s emergency services coordinator, told the commission the county recently conducted a workshop exercise with the U.S. Forest Service to test communication procedures; he said the State Director of Emergency Management attended and complimented the county’s setup.
Mike Alt reported the county has received no update from the state on potential EMS Salary Enhancement funding and said the county plans to purchase two used ambulances to meet operational needs for the next 24 months until a new ambulance can be purchased.
