ST. ANTHONY – Fremont County EMS is hoping three times is the charm for an ambulance levy.
A levy to help replace outdated equipment, ambulances and support vehicles will be on the ballot for a third time in an election later this month. EMS Director Bert Mecham tells EastIdahoNews.com the two-year $250,000 levy is needed so the department can continue to serve the community effectively.
“We have six ambulances in the county. We were able to update one, but we’re looking to update two more,” Mecham says. “Our paramedic response vehicle is getting quite a few miles on it so we need to replace it. We’ve got a couple of old snowmachines and one other response vehicle that needs to be replaced.”
