Some Good County News: Ambulance service now available to all Elmore County residents

Cortez Strickland of the Montgomery Advertiser (Alabama) reports that, "Citizens living in the rural communities of Elmore County will not have to worry any longer when it comes to response times on arising emergency situations. Earlier this week inside the Elmore County Courthouse, officials from the county's emergency medical services board and the county commission announced the implementation of a two-year contract with Haynes Ambulance. The contract marks the first time in history that a professional countywide ambulance service will be available for all county residents."

Said County EMS Chairman Greg Jones, "If we don't meet that demand, then people are going to go somewhere else in search of those types of services. We need good police, good firemen, good ambulance and good schools -- those are the keys to building, and I think Elmore County is on the cutting edge." Indeed.
