The new ambulance services contract will go into effect Jan. 1, 2015. It will replace the existing ambulance services agreement the city has with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) District 2. The new contract will also allow AMR to provide ambulance services to residents outside the Vancouver Fire Department’s service area through an interlocal agreement between Vancouver and EMS District 2.
City selects new ambulance provider
Vancouver City Manager Eric Holmes and Fire Chief Joe Molina announced the selection of American Medical Response (AMR) as the ambulance service provider for the Vancouver Fire Department’s service delivery area this week. The contract is anticipated to go to the Vancouver City Council for approval this fall, after negotiations with AMR are complete.
