HUBBARD — Residents of the township and city are without their own ambulance service in the middle of a pandemic, and the fire district wants to change that, first by seeking advice from other joint fire districts.
The Eagle Joint Fire District will be contacting David “Chip” Comstock, chief of the Western Reserve Joint Fire District in Poland, to speak with him and Hubbard city and township officials on what needs to be done to get emergency medical service or ambulance service to the area. The Western Reserve Fire District represents Poland Village, Poland Township and Lowellville.
Hubbard Councilman Mike Kerr said at this week’s Eagle Joint Fire District board meeting he will get in touch with Comstock so he can explain what they have been doing for ambulance and EMS in his joint fire district in Mahoning County and what can be done to get the services in Hubbard. Kerr said the meeting will take place before the end of the year.
