Ambulance Purchase Sparks Tax Money Debate in Township
In Richland Township, ambulance use raises legal questions as funds may not be used for out of township救 services. Fire Chief Ed Ballinger notes two ambulances cannot respond beyond city limits without a sheriff or mutual aid request. Costs for intratownship runs range from 20 to 50 dollars, and hospital ambulances are absent. Township attorney William Lawler calls the current setup a legal void, while state guidance suggests adding ambulance maintenance to the fire department budget. The new 1969 Chevrolet carryall ambulance awaits a radio frequency update before joining service.
