Emo ambulance station closed amid paramedic shortage
The Emo base is temporarily closed as Rainy River Services Board shifts to a three-ambulance model. Paramedic staffing shortages, with about 30 percent short of target, prompted redeployments to sustain coverage at other bases and efforts to recruit and retain staff district wide. The Emo station may reopen once staffing improves.
