Rowe reviews shared EMS models after study that placed Rowe’s share between $56,535 and $254,053

Jul 16, 2026

Town Administrator Brooke Shulda presented FRCOG materials outlining short- and long-term shared EMS plans; two allocation formulas produced very different annual cost estimates for Rowe ($254,053 using EQV at 33% vs. $56,535 using demand and population). The board discussed practical short-term staffing and long-term goals.

The full story

Town Administrator Brooke E. Shulda summarized documents from the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) proposing shared EMS services. She said the goal is to start with a practical short-term configuration—one advanced life-support (ALS) ambulance staffed 24/7/365 and one basic life-support (BLS) ambulance staffed for eight hours during the four busiest daily windows—while the long-term model would provide three ALS ambulances with two trucks staffed 24/7/365.
