In an article in BTSTimes by Rev Jim Pollock…page 12& 14……he is now an AMR employed EMT/Driver…”that is why your three EMT /DRIVERS are from the LBTS VFD.”…
Good for the finding of the destination…but will this open up a can of worms with the cross-over…of VFD/AMR…guess we will see in the next Future’s edition….
Why is this allowable…but the AMR Fire Fighter is not allowed to assist the VFD…per the Town Manager at the 9/25/08 commission meeting?…
updates to come….
