Recently, it was announced that Colusa County’s ambulance service would be reduced to one 24-hour advanced life support ambulance.
According to the Willows Fire Department, this reduction in services could have an impact on the citizens of Glenn County and their ability to receive timely advanced life support care.
In order to address this problem, the fire department is aiming to provide fire-based, nontransport advanced life support service.
According to a previous article, Enloe Medical Center announced in October they would be reducing advanced life support ambulance services in Colusa County to one round-the-clock ambulance to serve approximately 22,000 residents that live within the county’s 1,200-square miles.
According to a letter from the Willows Fire Department, Glenn County’s ambulances will be helping cover calls in Colusa County, which could affect response times.
