Excerpts from wrex.com:
Big changes are happening in Boone County when it comes to ambulance service. Voters in district 2 approved a new tax to bring ambulance service in-house and now it’s up and running.
For more than 35 years Boone County Fire District 2 relied on outside agencies to provide EMS transport but as of last week, the district now has its own service.
Right now the district has one ambulance with a total of six firefighter paramedics and EMTs.
The district is working to hire and train as many paramedics and EMTs as possible.
A second ambulance is expected to start service in April 2024.
