Letter to the Editor,
I think it is ridiculous that the Bear Lake County ambulances can't cross
the state line into Rich County to help when lives are at stake like the Monday
evening tragedy. I understand that the Rich County Dispatcher was told to call
the Bear Lake County ambulances to come to the marina to help with the people
that were involved in that accident, but when they arrived they could not
cross the state line into Utah and Rich County. I think that the two counties
need to get their act together and work out their differences immediately.
Our doctors and hospital are located in Montpelier and if we
have an emergency and need to be taken to our hospital, we have to call Rich
County ambulance to take us to the state line and then have the Bear Lake County
ambulance meet them there. Then be transferred to the Bear Lake County
ambulance to be taken to Bear Lake Memorial Hospital. I hope and pray that we
don't ever have that kind of an emergency.
