New Troy ambulance placed in ‘limited service'
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — The new Troy ambulance is currently in 'limited service,' according to city officials.
According to the city, Troy Fire Chief Matt Simmons found that 75% of calls to respond were considered 'low-priority,' and between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Because of the findings, the city said the new ambulance will be staffed weekdays during the aforementioned time period.
Although Station 11 has two ambulances, first responders from stations 12 and 13 can still be dispatched to calls.
'To help staff the Medic 15, we have scheduled an additional firefighter at Station 11,' said the city. 'When Medic 15 is responding to a call from Station 11, we still have personnel at Station 11 capable of responding with the ALS-equipped engine or Medic 11 to our downtown district.'
Robin Oda, mayor of Troy, previously said the city is grateful to have the new ambulance, and is focused on strengthening the community's future.
'We're very thankful to UVMC and Premier for this new ambulance, which will provide additional emergency support to our citizens,' said Oda. 'We remain good stewards of taxpayer funding and are always looking at ways we can improve and increase services to our community.'
