In February 2016, American Medical Response (AMR) was asked to assist DCFEMS with the additional call load for EMS services in the city. As part of the agreement, the company will operate and maintain 29 private ambulances with up to 25 Available during high-call volume periods. The private units will be spread throughout the city and could be on the scene of an incident within 10 minutes after dispatch.
We think that its probably a good deal for citizens and visitors who need fast ems service, but it definitely points out how poor planning and bad management decisions by our elected and appointed city officials have hampered city services over the years.
What’s your take on this DC?
