Lifeguard presents its ambulance plan

Health care authority eyes Flomaton service

The Escambia County Health Care Authority is currently studying and reviewing a proposal from Lifeguard on a 90-day contract to provide ambulance service to the Flomaton area, but no deal has been finalized.

The health care authority began receiving proposals to provide ambulance service to Flomaton after Escambia County (Fla.) EMS, stationed in Century, said it was ending its contract to provide service to the Flomaton area. Florida officials did say they would not end the service in Flomaton until a new plan was in place.
