County Commissioners Enter Contract with Dillsboro Fire for EMS Emergency Calls

The fire department will provide coverage while efforts continue to house an EMS service in Dillsboro.

(Dillsboro, Ind.) – According to Town Council President Doug Baker, Dearborn County Commissioner’s entered a contract with the Dillsboro Fire Department on Tuesday night to be the first responders on EMS emergency calls.

Earlier this month, commissioners decided to not pursue a contractual relationship with the Dillsboro Emergency Ambulance Unit (DEAU) due to poor response rates. 

Baker says the fire department responding to EMS emergency calls is a necessary short-term fix, but the fight continues for an EMS service that is stationed in Dillsboro.

In recent months, Aurora and Moores Hill EMS have lent a helping hand with coverage in Dillsboro.
