Fire chief David Tomkinson has asked Merritt city council to approve his recommendation that city staff send an invoice to the province to recover expenses and request a fee for service.
The recommendation will be considered during the regular council meeting on Tuesday (March 26).
In a report to City of Merritt CAO Cynthia White, Tomkinson notes increasing emergency medical services obligations and risk, and talks of the fire department’s role in filling gaps amid the BC Ambulance Service staffing crisis and emergency-room closures.
