Fast Facts

 

· The fee to maintain ambulance service will be $69.00 per residential dwelling or developed commercial property per year.  That’s only $5.75 a month. 

 

· There will be no fee assessed for vacant, undeveloped or agricultural land.

 

· Our EMS division is mostly volunteer, with 40-50 volunteers and only 4 full-time personnel.

 

· Each of our 4 RLFR paramedics devotes an average of 82 hours per week to providing ALS coverage to the community (40 shift hours and 42 additional on-call hours).

 

· We currently provide ambulance service to an area of about 600 square miles!

On July 13th, 2010, a mail-in election was held to give Red Lodge area voters the opportunity to vote on whether or not an ambulance district should be formed in order to provide reliable funding that will allow RLFR to continue to provide paramedic-level ambulance service to our response area, as well as  ensuring that those living in our response provide fair and equal financial support for the service.  The vote passed by a 60% margin, thereby creating the Red Lodge Roberts Ambulance District.
