EL PASO, Texas — The El Paso Fire Department has made some changes to their ambulance policies that in some cases could affect which hospital you get taken to and how long it takes to get there.
Right now, the fire department’s ambulance policy is simple: No matter what the emergency is, if you want to be taken to a hospital, the ambulance that responds will take you to the hospital of your choice.
But if your injury or emergency is not that bad, starting on Monday you will be treated and then the ambulance will take you to the nearest hospital. But if you want to go somewhere else, you have to wait for a second ambulance to pick you up.
