Why??
Muir Boda and Jack Heath got to catch up on their campaigning after Jack Heath's dismal performance and the Candidates Forum at Schumacher Park?

Letter to the Editor
Golden Gardens Assisted Living in Parsonsburg, Maryland
2564, 7888 Parsonsburg Rd, Parsonsburg, MD 21849
At approximately 4:20 AM on June 8th, 2018, Parsonsburg fire department and the county paid paramedic in Pittsville was dispatched for an emergency ambulance call at Golden Gardens Assisted Living. EMS 7 responded with the ALS provider to Parsonsburgs fire station to pick up the ambulance and meet with an EMT. In real counties with paid paramedics, the Chase with the paramedic responds with the paramedic to the scene of the emergency.
Central went through the 4 required re-alerts with no response. Then, Central dispatched Pittsville Volunteer Fire Company for the EMS call and then alerted the Parsonsburg volunteers for an engine response to standing by for Pittsville's' ambulance when they got out.
Wicomico Central Dispatched the required 4 re-alert attempts for Pittsville's Ambulance and ALS Paramedic and there was no response from Pittsville OR Parsonsburg again.
Then Wicomico Central dispatched Station 8 Willards EMS and the county paid ALS provider from Powellville, that's right Powellville Volunteer Fire Company. EMS 11 answered up responding to Willards for their ambulance. 818, a volunteer officer answered up and said the call was covered because Powellville EMS 11 was responding to Willards to pick of the ambulance stationed at the Willards Fire Company. In reality, it would have been much quicker for EMS 11 from Powellville to respond to Parsonsburg Road to tend to the patient instead of driving in the opposite direction to Willards.
At approximately 4:55 AM EMS 7 answers on the radio and says they have a crew and they cancel Willard's ambulance. EMS 11 answered up and returned to Powellville to go back to sleep. A few minutes later Parsonsburg's Ambulance finally got out and responded to that poor person's emergency who was waiting and suffering for well over 1/2 hour.
The irony to this story is that Parsonsburg and Pittsville Volunteer Fire Companies that the main people telling Bob Culver and the County Council that they don't support the Station 1 volunteers running mutual aid calls with them. The sad thing is that the Parsonsburg Fire Company scratched on that call and never responded a volunteer fire crew to stand by for that Ambulance crew and Pittsville volunteers didn't get out either. They both could have used the manpower from the volunteers from Station 1. These elected officials and volunteer firemen are playing dangerous politics with this entire situation. How many people have to die before Bob Culver and John Cannon get it right!
In real counties with paid paramedics and fire companies, the Chase with the paramedic responds with the paramedic to the scene of the emergency. If you don't believe me check with Sussex County, Dorchester County, Caroline County, Talbot County, Queen Anne County, Kent County and Cecil County!
