WATERTOWN — Mayor Jeffrey M. Smith doesn’t see any reason for the city’s fire department to respond to an EMS call when a person falls or suffers from a diabetic
WATERTOWN â In a compromise offered by the mayor, the Fire Departmentâs rescue truck will be taken off the road next Monday, but firefighters will still be able to respond to EMS calls until the city discusses the issue again in January.
Mayor Jeffrey M. Smith said Monday night the compromise will give the city a chance to meet with Guilfoyle Ambulance Services, Jefferson County EMS and the firefightersâ union.
But he put it on the firefightersâ union to save the medical calls, saying âcompromise is a two-way street.â
He planned to offer a resolution to decommission the rescue truck and eliminate all EMS calls by firefighters.
