GCAS Director Dave Simpson reported that in June 2026, GCAS and Greene County Rescue combined had "477 runs and 388 transports," including 96 transfers. The figures were presented as part of the board's routine operational reporting.
Simpson also described a potential incident involving anhydrous that required decontamination of firefighters and a couple of residents before transport. He said Switz City Fire Department and Greene County General Hospital ER Director Troy Gaither "worked with them through the process." The board discussed emergency response coordination and noted Eskenazi Burn Center will provide training on August 3, 2026.
