GAZETTE, 6/14-6/20/12 CROTON PREPAREDNESS CHIEF: ISSUES REMAIN FOR CROTON EMS; SOME HIGHLIGHTS:
-Croton EMS was spun off from the Croton Volunteer Fire Department four years ago; the intent was two fold - to increase ranks of ems volunteers who were not interested in also training as firefighters and
-to allow for the billing of insurance companies for provided services.
-A year ago next month, in response to a dwindling number of volunteers, COH trustees approved retaining a paid EMT to provide service 12 hours a day on weekdays.
-Despite this, according to Richard Nagle, Croton's director of emergency preparedness, Croton EMS remains "a fragile service".
