(Harlan) The Harlan City Council reviewed and approved recommendations to authorize the Harlan Fire Department to file an EMS Service Change of Status.
Harlan City Administrator Gene Gettys says the application would allow the fire department in the short term to respond to and transport 9-1-1 calls on an as-needed basis. “The Harlan Fire Department would look similar to other fire departments in communities in our county that have an ambulance,” said Gettys. “Medivac Ambulance is currently contracted to provide the transport service for the community. We know they are dealing with staffing issues and are looking for a long-term solution.”
In other business, the Council approved the grant application and awarded $5,500.00 for the HHPC Downtown and Upper Story and Façade Grant Completion for 612 Market Street.
