Steve Puckett, president/CEO of Puckett EMS of Austell, Ga., said the first three months of providing the county’s ambulance service have been a tremendous success for his company.
“We’re coming to the end of our first 90 days, and everyone has really welcomed us to the county,” he said. “Everyone we’ve come in contact with has been great to work with.”
Puckett’s director of operations, Doug Norton, said company personnel have answered more than 1,000 calls since the first day of service.
“The numbers are a little bit better than we had anticipated, and there were more calls than we had anticipated,” he said. “People in the county have made us feel at home, and our employees really enjoy working in the county.”
