San Antonio area EMS director Jeff Fincke has asked city officials in Kendall County to impose tougher regulations on private ambulances speeding to nonemergency calls. Specifically, Fincke wants Kendall County cities to pass city ordinances, modeled after the one passed by San Antonio, that require ambulances to receive permission to run “hot” – that is, use lights and sirens – in response to requests for help.
Have you or a loved one been in an accident with an ambulance? If so, it may be time to ask the question: was the ambulance speeding out of necessity or because it was trying to beat another ambulance to the scene of concern.
