New Rock County ambulance remains out of service pending radios and grill guard; housing at airport under discussion
Summary
Rock County ambulance staff told commissioners the new ambulance is not yet in service because it is awaiting radios and a grill guard; hospital equipment and a possible housing contract with the airport were discussed.
Trenton Gurnsey, Rock County Ambulance personnel, told the Board on June 1 that the county's new ambulance has not been placed into service because it is still awaiting radios and a grill guard. He said the hospital will outfit the unit with necessary medical supplies once those pieces are installed.
Commissioners discussed a contract with the airport to house the new ambulance. No formal vote on housing was recorded in the minutes; the discussion was listed as part of routine business and next steps would be administrative arrangements between the ambulance service, hospital and airport.
The delay is logistic rather than regulatory in the minutes: the ambulance was described as complete except for communications equipment and the protective grill guard. No timeline for service entry was recorded in the minutes.
