Dear Chair Baker, Vice-Chair Chang, and Committee members:
RE: SB 2618 Relating to Ambulances
SB 2618 would provide an ALS ambulance for the Makalei Fire Station, which is
several miles from the nearest existing ambulance and half an hour or more from the
nearest hospital.
I believe such an ambulance is warranted and hope you can find room to act
favorably on SB 2618.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harry
