MABEL, Minn. — If the city of Mabel is going to sustain its ambulance service, it’s going to need more help.

During the regular meeting of the Mabel City Council last week, the council heard concerns from Neil Folstad and a number of other emergency medical service providers. Also attending was Holly Hamman of the Emergency Medical Services Board.

Folstad said personnel is stretched thin, and the group is having trouble with coverage during the day. “The bad part is, there’s no businesses in Mabel. Everyone works out of town,” said Folstad. Folstad explained he has been in discussions with Hamman who has helped them in calling for mutual aid.
