PETERSBURG, Va. First responders in Petersburg say they ve been dealing with issues with some of their emergency vehicles and a staffing shortage.
Bubby Bish, with Southside Virginia Emergency Crew, said while the city is covered in terms of EMS service, he believes it could be a better situation. Effective this week, the fire ambulance medic went out of service, said Bish.
The Petersburg Fire Department said it came down to staffing and having to use firefighters in mandatory overtime.
