It is a lie to claim that the squad is "100% volunteer". All patients are billed. Residents are not hard billed for the balance due after the insurance payment. 60 hours a week there are paid personel. The few volunteers that are left try to cover nights, weekends, and holidays. Lets also be honest and acknowledge that the volunteers occasionally are unable to get out an ambulance. Anyone with a scanner can verify this. There are times when someone calls 911 needing an ambulance (during the non paid crew hours) and no one responds. Scarey thought when you are the one bleeding or with pains in your chest. This post is not intended to "bash" volunteers it is intended to point out the truth.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-8670</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Jun 14 2013, 5:06 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Paramedic unit pulled out of service effects cranbury residents safety</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The squad is managed by volunteers.
