BRONSON, MI (WTVB) – An auxiliary ambulance is now stationed at the Bronson fire station in case a Life Care Ambulance is not available in a timely fashion.
Talk of having the auxiliary ambulance started last summer when Life Care was not able to meet its response time standards due to a lack of staffing which promises an ambulance will arrive within 12 minutes of being dispatched at least 80 percent of the time.
The plan would be to dispatch the extra ambulance with Bronson Fire Department personnel if a normal ambulance isn’t available within 10 minutes.
Steve Frisbie from Life Care Ambulance told the Bronson City Council last July the contract would be structured in a way which would allow either the city or Life Care to walk away.
The agreement with Life Care was approved by the Bronson City Council and each of the six member townships of the rural fire association.
