Starting on July 4, the Ewa Beach and Makiki ambulances will expand their services from 12 hours to 24 hours a day, the city announced Monday.
The increased coverage comes as the West O‘ahu community continues to grow. In 2020, the city said its Makiki unit responded to 3,510 calls and its Ewa Beach unit responded to 2,357 within their daily 12-hour shifts.
