FRANKLIN COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES BOARDMembers of Franklin County’s Emergency Services Board are County Mayor Richard Stewart, Sheriff Tim Fuller, 911 Board member Dr. Gerald Smith, Director of Communications Kathy Blazer, County Commission Chairman Eddie Clark, Scott Smith of the county’s rescue squad, representatives of the county Fire Chiefs’ Association and Southern Tennessee Medical Center, and County Commissioner Angie Fuller.
The bankruptcy announced last month by Franklin County ambulance service provider Rural Metro Corp. opened the door to competition from a new, Decherd, Tenn.-based ambulance company.
Franklin County Mayor Richard Stewart said A&E Emergency Services last month approached the County Commission’s Legislative Committee seeking to be placed on the commission agenda to discuss a switch.
Stewart said the company’s proposed resolution was referred last week to the County Commission’s Emergency Services Board.
Stewart, chairman of that board, said a meeting date has not been set.
