Then I read that for a lousy few bucks Sumter county split and went with Rural Metro. This saddened me, as this is happening all over the country and the result afterwards is ALWAYS a downgrade in service.
I'm so glad my Florida home is in Lake county, and I will still be served by Lake county EMS. I will be there for good in 5 weeks, and if the bean counters in Lake county ever try to do what Sumter county did I will fight hard against it.
