The brown line outlines Mohave County. The blue square in the red line is the Dolan portion of the LMRFD. The two little blue spots just above are the Meadview portion of the LMRFD.
The red line is approximately the 2200 square miles in the LMRFD CON.
As you can see the LMRFD is much larger than most of the other fire districts in the county. The CON or ambulance coverage area area covered by our 2-3 firefighters is larger than all the other fire districts in the county combined.
We need to ask why the taxpayers in the small medically under served communities of Dolan Springs and Meadview support an ambulance that covers an area larger than ALL OTHER FIRE DISTRICTS in Mohave County?
We need to reduce the area of the LMRFD to the area of the fire district. We're told the ambulance needs the money from calls.
The majority of calls are from the populated areas in Dolan and Meadview. How much does the ambulance make, or lose on calls outside the fire district? Does anyone know?
The taxpayers in those two little blue dots on the map can not be expected to support EMS for such a huge area.

ReplyDeleteI have read several articles relating to that lack of ems in meadview and Dolan. The way I see it is this. The town can fight and get all of your equipment back and start your own volunteer fire dept. Including ambulance service. You people in Dolan and meadview rant helpless your just not thinking. Many things can be done . must be done to insure survival.
I'm afraid it's going to take someone dying while these guys are out putting out what's left of a foundation 30 miles outside the district. Why it takes someone dying I don't understand...
