Joss: <br /> <br />My understanding is that their <br />present location on Main Street is a <br />temporary location, mainly because <br />they have no place to house their <br />vehicles. Since they use diesel <br />vehicles, it's real important that <br />those be in a garage during the <br />winter months. As far as response <br />time and better services, it depends <br />on where the call is as to whether <br />or not we'd have faster response <br />time. From an administrative and <br />managerial standpoint it would be of <br />great value to both the Fire <br />Protection District and the <br />Ambulance Service to have those <br />functions right together, because <br />there is so much cross training. <br />Every time there is an emergency <br />Ambulance call within the District, <br />the Fire Protection District does <br />respond with First Responder and <br />EMT's. A-1 furnishes a lot of our <br />medical training. Having those two <br />facilities combined would be of <br />great value to both entities.

What are the legal <br />arrangements on the building? <br /> <br />Joss: <br /> <br />At this juncture we have not gotten <br />that far. Before all of that time <br />and energy was spent, we decided <br />that this was the first step. There <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
