Growing
demand for services!
Grant
County continues to see growth and increase in requests for
EMS services. Over the past several years your EMS Partners
have experienced an ever increasing demand for services
based on the growth of new businesses and the support to
community members and visitors to our area. With this, we
are forecasting a double to triple increase in requests for
services in the next few years.
GCFD3 &
GCHD2 continue to expand their roles within the community in
an effort to increase safety and provide the highest levels
of EMS services possible. GCFD3 & GCHD2 continue to provide
traditional basic and advanced emergency medical services as
well as an increased level of fire prevention and public
education programs for family residences and businesses
within the districts but.... your help is needed!
With the recent cost
cuts from the government, your support is needed now more
than ever!
The
passage of the Fire District #3 EMS levy will enable GCFD3 &
GCHD2 to continue to maintain their service delivery
capabilities and support our communities growth.
