Selectmen raise alarm over 20-30 minute ambulance response, order contract analysis
Summary
Selectmen reported 20'20 minute ambulance response times from Cheshire EMS and directed staff to analyze the EMS contract to project future cost increases and service implications.
Selectmen expressed concern about long ambulance response times, reporting delays of 20 to 30 minutes from Cheshire EMS, and noted difficulty finding a local site for an ambulance spoke. The board directed staff to analyze the Cheshire EMS contract to project future cost increases and to consider operational impacts on emergency response.
The issue arose during general discussion of town safety services; the board did not take immediate action to change EMS service terms at the meeting but added contract analysis to follow-up items and flagged the topic for further discussion in future meetings.
