I needed an ambulance to come out to my home here in Bratt. The crew was very professional. Had I have known Atmore hospital was the furthest thing from professional I would have had them take me to Jay or even Baptist 9 Mile.

I think it’s funny how everybody thinks that everybody needs a raise. I don’t think the problem is that everybody needs a raise; I think the problem is that everybody needs to learn how to spend what they make. It’s not what you make, it’s how you spend it. We have an entire population that has no idea how to budget their money.

Great job, The EMS was great 20 years ago when I needed them and they are still doing a good job and they do deserve a Raise. And they can train the state now on how to do a good job

Proof that the numbers dont tell the full story. Escambia EMS has been losing employees at an astronomical rate due to mismanagement at the top levels. On any given day Escambia EMS is holding emergency calls due to management giving priority to more lucrative routine intra facility transfers and not enough units on duty. Meanwhile, our firefighters are being dispatched and are stuck on scene waiting long periods for EMS to finally show up tying up valuable fire supression equipment and resources. Asking for the EMS Chief’s resignation was a good start but plenty more needs to be done.

Trucks in great shape? What checks did he check out? Those thing are band aid together. Ask yourself why are the new ambulances not on the road yet! I’m curious to know what the delay is. Over worked and underpaid those guys and girls derserve to be treated better than they are. Oh and good riddance to EMS Chief and his retaliatory rule.

That’s fantastic for them! Now my thing is if they are on their job doing everything they are supposed to do and keep up with and is being told “outstanding” and helping to save lives daily…… When do they all get a pay raise?? EMT’S aren’t paid enough for what they do and what they go through on the job. They definitely deserve the pay for what they do. Escambia county EMT’S are paid poorly. My aunt became one for e.c and after a yr. She had to quit because she just wasn’t making enough money to live on. Loved her job just wasn’t making ends meat. I give much praise to all the EMT and The firefighters as well! They also don’t get paid enough for putting their lives on steak everyday saving lives! God bless you all and thank y’all very much for all the hard work you guys do.
