Jones County eyes private daytime rescue option
County Manager Larry Meadows said he will seek daytime emergency coverage from an Onslow County private ambulance service after two out of county squads refused calls. A shortage of day volunteers has troubled the county for years, with a Lenoir County squad also declining a near border accident call. The plan would add Pridgen’s Richlands service with two ambulances, handle nursing home and doctor visits, and use a standby unit in Trenton while billing individuals.
