Well politicians know best...

"Fire protection officials from Windsor, Severance and Johnstown said Wednesday they are concerned about a change to Weld County’s ambulance code that could keep them from contracting with another provider.

Weld County commissioners approved the first reading of the code change, which would give them “exclusive purview” of ambulance providers wishing to do business in the county and would establish a tiered licensing system. Fire authorities in the western part of the county said response times in their districts have been rising, and they would like free rein to find ambulance providers that could get to life-threatening situations more quickly."

Curious why Thompson Valley EMS isn't mentioned at all. They just recently opened a new HQ/station/education facility near the Budweiser Event Center...

Don't think Thompson Valley submitted a bid. FYI the Windsor Fire Chief was the formerly the head of the Poudre Valley Hospital EMS.
