A few weeks ago, the Grandview City Council was presented information about a proposal from the Sunnyside Fire Department ambulance service.
The council members decided to seek more information before it makes a decision.
At issue is which service is best for the community.
Residents in Grandview were provided service by a private entity until 2000, when Prosser Memorial Hospital (now Prosser Memorial Health) stepped up in the wake of the private service shuttering its doors.
Since then, in 2008, Prosser has asked residents in Grandview and surrounding areas to approve a levy. The community voted no.
As a result of the failed levy, the ambulance station was closed, and the Prosser ambulance has promised to park at the fire station during “peak hours.”
