911 Officials Ready in Case of Changes in Local Ambulance Service
Several employees of Effingham Advanced Ambulance have left that firm within
the last week, and most if not all have gone to work for Effingham City-County
Ambulance Service. Effingham County ESDA Coordinator Russ Thomas, who chairs
the Effingham County 911 Board, said emergency officials were monitoring the
situation in light of reports that the employees left Advanced after their
paychecks bounced.
Ben Sullivan is one of those who left. Sullivan said that his paycheck from
last week didn`t cash. He said he knew of other employees who had that problem
in the past, and said it would only happen to him once. He was hired by
City-County on Tuesday and starts work there tomorrow.
City-County Operations Director Terry White said they would be able to "easily
absorb" those hired between their three locations in Effingham, Altamont and
Salem. He said most of those hired would work in Effingham County. White said,
"we are prepared to handle any emergency or non-emergency calls in our venues".
The Effingham County Board`s Public Safety Committee plans to meet at 8am
Friday at the County Office Building to discuss the situation.
(Additional info obtained by CIFN Advanced Ambulance will cease operations as
of July 26th in Effingham Co.)
