Interesting posts on social media today as OKCFD began hiring supervisors for their “Supplemental Transport Service” to augment EMSA during peak times. Initially hiring Field Supervisors followed by EMTs and Paramedics to run the four ambulances OKCFD acquired.

Sure seems like a lot of work establishing a “supplemental” service. More like laying the groundwork to give EMSA the boot so citizens aren’t waiting an hour for a truck to arrive. With Edmond looking elsewhere and buying ambulances as well the next few years could spell the end for EMSA.
