I've heard that people are saying it cost 300,000. That's way more than it cost. We paid 165,000 for it and there were good reasons to buy it. It's larger than previous units we've had. Our fleet was aging, our first out ambulance is more than eight years old and we were spending a lot of maintenance on it.

We have the best support from patrons. At Christmas we have people bring stuff in here all the time and express their gratitude, and we really appreciate their support.

We don't leave the district without a crew. Cedar County does, but we don't. We won't take a transfer unless there is a crew ready to answer the call if someone needs an ambulance here in Vernon County. These are the people we serve and we won't leave them without protection.

Taxes bring in about 300,000 a year. Even with only one ambulance and the staff to man it 24 hours a day it would stretch that 300,000. Then, of course, there's rent and utilities and all the other expenses. The district was formed 28 years ago. How many times have we asked for an increase since then I think it's been one time. We are trying to provide the best service we can for the area and do it as efficiently as we can.
