Lower Township Council May 17 passed a resolution to hire Inspira Medical Services to supplement the Lower Township Rescue Squad for one year, at $36,000. Inspira will provide one manned ambulance.
Where that ambulance will be based was the question raised at the meeting by Diamond Beach homeowner James Sanford, who has been asking for an ambulance to be based in Diamond Beach, which sits on the George Redding Bridge’s west side, going into Wildwood.
Sanford claims response times from the Erma-based rescue squad fall below state allowed times due to traffic during summer.
