Marc, just an fyi....what the Chief was saying, was that with third party billing, Emergency Medical Services basically pay for themselves. I don't live in Warren, but I would guess that the Rescue probably brings in $300k a year. Most likely, that money goes into the General Fund for your town of Warren and gets used on other things. And, "people in dire straits" don't get billed if they're town residents. Their insurance company gets billed. All in all, it's a great situation for the town but Fire/EMS need reliable and adequate equipment. Hope this clears up the foul taste in your mouth.
