There were 10 proposals put forth to Fisk the ambulance service 5 of which eliminated the villages fire dept. why do you think they should of just grabbed one with investigating them first. Bradley Arnold the city manager is the one who came up with the 10 options.

The main problem with the ambulance service turned out to be lack of emt’s caused by AMR’s low pay. There were times when they had less than 3 ambulances on the road which was against the contract and Arnold chose not to fine them. If they had been getting fines they might of raised the salary enough to attract employees. The assistant city managers wife was running AMR think that might of had anything to do with it.
