Pea Ridge EMT concerned about staffing issues, investigation opened
A Pea Ridge EMT says the last 10 months they have had a big problem having enough staff to properly service the city. Author: Kathryn Gilker Updated: 7:05 PM CDT July 21, 2021
PEA RIDGE, Ark. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) is investigating a complaint brought by a Pea Ridge EMT that the department doesn’t have enough staff to provide ambulance service to the city.
“Over the last 10 months, it’s been a major issue of keeping paramedics around and keeping the ambulance staffed,” Jason Bowman said.
Jason Bowman has been a Pea Ridge volunteer firefighter and EMT for almost eight years and decided to file the complaint with ADH after he felt that nothing was being done. He says to respond to a 911 call properly, there should be a paramedic and EMT in the ambulance, and if there isn’t, another neighboring agency has to respond.
