Maybe they allow this to happen cause they are like everyone else and can’t hire anybody. Did you ever think about that. And maybe they don’t need a paramedic every time. Isn’t it better to take what you can get as long as they get the job done.
Why can’t they hire people? That’s why they were voted in. If they can’t do their jobs they should be voted out.
Get a grip on what’s going on around you! There is a worker shortage! Lazy ass people everywhere you look!
Really? Where do you see lazy people all around? Are you driving around the County ?We’re a Right to Work State, maybe they got fired or actually found a job with a living wage! Lucky them!
They spent all their money on roundabouts & didn’t have any left for paramedics!!
Hey commissioners get off your HIGH HORSES. and promote growth in SHERRIFS DEPT FIRE DEPARTMENTS PERSONAL FOR BOTH and STOP STOP this RIDICULOUS building of CONDOS HOUSES AND OTHER PLACES OF RESIDENCY.
Why does the fire department have to provide paramedics. Why doesn’t that come under EMS ambulance service. Fire department should put out fires……in my opinion. It costs so much for this double service.
Every state in this country has the paramedics and fire department together. They are funded accordingly.
Apparently, it doesn’t matter if they have paramedics or not.. when i had a 911 last Christmas day,, no one but the popo showed up. If the fire department which is only 6 1/2 minutes, which i myself drove at the speed limit & that included a stop light at a busy intersection on Berkeley Rd. It took 43 minutes for the department to get here.. i believe that they,, if they had just showed up that day, that they could have helped & possibly saved my son’s life… But they didn’t.. so what good are they anyway!! Just getting paid from tax payers hard earned money..to do absolutely nothing but collect a pay check.
