BOONE COUNTY, Ill. — A plan to put more ambulances on the road, which could mean quicker responses in emergencies, has been put on hold.
The Capron rescue squad filed an injunction to stop the formation of the North Boone Fire Protection Number Three’s Ambulance Squad. Capron Rescue says the fire district needed to put a referendum on the ballot which didn’t happen.
“We’re not against the fire department starting ambulance service the way the law is interpreted by our lawyer they need to go to referendum before starting an ambulance service. We felt they didn’t do that, they didn’t take the proper steps,” said Capron Rescue Squad Board President Owen Costanza.
