Jason Nelson, Allen County ambulence director, told commissioners he made a point to to go on 45 of 750 county ambulance calls received thus far this year.
“A second set of hands always is helpful,” Nelson said, and “it gives me an opportunity to observe what the others (ambulance personnel) are doing.”
Nelson said by him going on calls, mostly injury accidents, he figured the county had saved $3,600 in overtime pay by not sending a second ambulance to provide additional personnel.
