Franklin County Rejects Separate Wellsville Ambulance Standby
Franklin County commissioners rescinded their FY 2000 2001 plan for a separate Wellsville ambulance substation after a second vote defeat. The proposal followed Wellsville Fire Chief Jim Stonequist demands, while county records show 7 percent of 1999 calls came from Franklin Township. The existing fleet handles seven daily calls, with peaks of 12 to 14, and average Wellsville response is 15 minutes, well within current service constraints.
