Three Rivers Ambulance Authority faces significant staffing shortages
DEVAN FILCHAK | The Journal Gazette
A Fort Wayne city councilman is pushing the Three Rivers Ambulance Authority to reconsider options as the continual loss of employees affects the level of care patients receive.
Russ Jehl, R-2nd, said today the ambulance authority board declared a state of emergency last week it doesn t have enough staff to meet compliance standards.
The ambulance authority is supposed to have about 49 paramedics to operate up to 19 ambulances on a given day. Jehl said the department is down to 19 paramedics and can operate only 11 ambulances some days.
