* STATter911 is covering a story about a situation that could crop up in a lot of places. In Prince George’s County, Maryland there are a handful of volunteer ambulance squads that have been billing BLS patients’ insurance cos. for emergency transports for the past 10 years. But on July 1 the County usurped their authority to do that and now the county general fund takes the spoils. Could it happen where you live? Read his coverage HERE.
* FireRescue1 is at the FRI (Chief’s convention) in Denver and is posting updates, reports and exclusive articles each day. They are compiled on a dedicated web page HERE.
* A reminder for you apparatus buffs that VAFireNews maintains a roster of (nearly) all fire apparatus in Virginia in front line service on a special page HERE.
