City officials are considering handing control of ambulance services to the Fire Department. The city now contracts with Atlantic Ambulance Service, a subdivision of Cataldo Ambulance Service, for ambulance runs. But Mayor Donna Holaday said she and other officials are deciding if the city should switch to a fire department-based emergency medical services program. That move would require the city to purchase two ambulances and add four firefighters to the payroll. Bringing the ambulance service in-house would allow the city to utilize the skills of its firefighters — all of whom are trained emergency medical technicians — and collect revenue from those skills, Holaday said. "This will be a major change for firefighters in terms of their working conditions," Holaday said. "We're evaluating it to see if it makes sense for the city."
