City Ambulance Battle Regains Public Fire Over Private Ownership
The Seattle ambulance service bought for the city’s use is criticized as a costly failure due to red tape. Citizens complain Captain Hogle charges for care when a man needed treatment at Providence hospital, though blame lies with unclear city policy. The city pays $140 monthly for the service under ordinance No. 6944, which lets the captain decide what constitutes a city case with health officials or police determining final definitions. The Pelishek incident, a Granite Falls worker struck in the head, is cited as evidence of the service’s shortcomings.
