| Rockford is one of the largest communities outside of Chicago In northern Illinois. They are considering doing away with provided EMS service and turning it over to privatization. Would a hospital based EMS system work better? Fully private service? Will have to watch this. Government studies have shown that fire incidents are down and EMS incidents have been increasing for many years. Could this be the service of the future? Has fire based EMS reached the breaking point. With The government meddling in national health care could this be the next thing? We shall see? |
