Thompsonville ambulance service still operating
Thompsonville's volunteer ambulance unit remains in partial operation seven weeks after volunteers resigned or quit over a coordinator dispute. The unit relies on nearby towns for full coverage, with eight EMTs currently serving and training delayed by instructor unavailability. West Frankfort and Zeigler units back up Thompsonville under mutual aid agreements, as fulltime crews cover the area when needed.
