Ambulance services update
Two veteran paramedics said Mercy's new 911 contract is failing: 90 open shifts this month, 16 experienced employees gone, and imported medics housed in hotels. County staff defended the transition and promised a full report soon.
Dove Fire Local Emergency
The Dove Fire burned about 220 acres near Highway 108 and Stockton Road, forcing around 1,400 evacuations and threatening over 800 structures. Ratifying the emergency keeps the county eligible for state and federal reimbursement, though the cost and structure losses are still being tallied.
