County places fifth ambulance in service; Station 3 may open ahead of schedule
Summary
County manager Joy reported that Med 3, the county's fifth med-unit ambulance, was placed in service Aug. 1 and will operate from Station 2 until Station 3 opens; she said Station 3 may be finished toward the end of September instead of mid-October.
County manager Joy told the board that Med 3, the county's fifth med-unit ambulance, was placed in service on Aug. 1 and will operate out of Station 2 until the new Station 3 is completed.
"Med 3 will respond out of Station 2 for now until completion of the new Station 3, which is expected in October," Joy said, and added that construction on Station 3 may finish "towards the end of September instead of the middle of October," a schedule improvement that would accelerate deployment from the new facility.
Joy said adding the ambulance represents a milestone and an upgrade in emergency medical services that should improve response times. No additional funding actions were requested during the report.
