Last week, in response to the county’s EMS crisis, three Washington County towns announced a proposal to form a regional ambulance service funded partly by municipal dollars.

Milbridge Town Manager Lewis Pinkham distributed a summary of the proposal Wednesday, Feb. 8, saying the decision followed discussions with Milbridge and Steuben’s nonprofit ambulance service Petit Manan, which earlier this year said it might close due to insufficient funding.
