Officials from Greater Amsterdam Volunteer Ambulance Corps do not expect its expanded role in Fulton County to affect operations in Amsterdam and Montgomery County. “We have not changed any of our procedures for Montgomery County. We are still putting the same number of ambulances out on the road as we did on Feb. 7,” GAVAC Executive Director Thomas Pasquarelli said. On Wednesday, GAVAC had been named the primary agency serving the area formerly serviced by Ambulance Service of Fulton County, an official said. Fulton County Emergency Management Office Director Steven Santa Maria announced Wednesday evening in a press release the plan to name GAVAC as the primary agency for the areas originally serviced by ASFC and to terminate their contingency plan effective Thursday at 8 a.m. ASFC announced Feb. 8 it was suspending its operations after it was unable to make payroll with ambulance services throughout Montgomery and Fulton counties picking up the calls and work left by the absence of ASFC through the contingency plan.
